The rest of the world sucks at it. Apart from the Mexicans. Tequila is nice.

Re: Alcohol causes statistics, says WHO
I'm in the clear then, never having drunk a drop of pure alcohol in my life, but then again WHO knows?On average, according to the WHO report, every person in the world aged 15 years or older drinks 6.2 litres of pure alcohol per year.
Also, how did Kate Kelland acquire a license to drive a keyboard? Little errors like "...kills more men then women..." are bad enough coming from a professional reporter, but can't she leave manglish to the unwashed masses? Just look at this: "But less than half the population - 38.3 percent - drinks, so those who do drink on average 17 litres of pure alcohol a year."

If you drink enough, I suppose it makes sense.
What doesn't compute is that if there are 3.5 billion people over 15, and alcohol kills 3.3 million of them - the death rate from alcohol is only 0.1%
Therefore it follows that by drinking you'll live to be 1000 years old.
