Ah, yes, Germany! The land where there are no alcohol issues because everybody is by default drunk.

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you have Germany confused with Czechia

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I think every other country has this joke about themselves, "haha we're the biggest drinkers"

[–] Onionizer@geddit.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Though the Czech drink by far the most beer according to wikipedia

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Czechia drinks just a little bit more than germans(Beer). On Average Germans drink afaik 114 l/year when Czechia has something like 116 l/year.

Germany has 99 l, we drink 140 l. Second place is Austria with 107.8

Denmark is doing pretty well statistically in terms of drinking though, the biggest amount of alcohol consumed by young people in the world

Maybe not Saudi Arabia.

I think we're pretty average and it's even on the decline.

I was just making a stupid joke. Playing with an old stereotype. It's germans and beer and us and our mustaches.

That is good to know. My own country had a serious issue with alcohol and we managed to curb it in less than 10 years.

The recent surge revolves around binge drinking and hard liquor, when it was originally around wine. And supposedly women are drinking more than men, nowadays.

Yeah I know, all good :D

Where are you from? Nordic country?

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Portugal, Land of the Epic Mustache!!!

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not Nordic :D and why is Portugal famous for a mustache? Haha

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The mustache was a mandatory fixture for the portuguese man between the 70's and the 90's.

[–] Anamana@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hell I didn't know the mustache was that relevant for Portugal, til.

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

The mustache fell out of favour in the late 90's but it was almost quintessential to the "true" portuguese male, along with the elongated pinky fingernail, greased back hair and sun glasses.

It has found some degree of revival but usually with full beards nowadays.
