Imagine thinking American teens don't drink.

Because it's done underground I fully believe we drink more per capita.

Yeah, you guys are clearly drinkers. The US only makes the top 40 countries. Barely.

Edit: that's per capita, somehow we rank 25th in the world for consumption overall

As with anything I feel like it's a bit silly to pit the US as a whole against individual European countries. States are a much more logical comparison from the standpoint of physical size, population, and cultural regionalism.

It's no surprise to me that the US as a whole is nowhere near the top. We have multiple states that are nearly entirely dry.

Check those numbers against drinking states like Wisconsin and I think the comparisons are much closer.

Hey, at least you are the uncontested school shooting champion. No need to feel bad about losing the alcohol usage :)
