What counts as heavy drinking? Curious to compare with what's normal in my country.
Apparently the UK has some of the highest (maybe the highest) binge drinking rates in the world and highesr alcohol consumption per capita - kinda goes hand in hand. I wasn't surprised to read it, some of the lads and ladettes start drinking Friday after work and don't stop until Monday morning. Crazy stuff, like out literally all night, wake up still buzzed, get another few rounds in with your mates and just keep going.
Oh god, that's a rabbit hole you might not want to go down. I'm in Canada and I know people who will have 1 or 2 beers a week but most are in the range 2-4 a day. I'm an electrician so things skew towards the 1500 bottles/yr end of the spectrum.
