Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

So Uganda Drinks 14L of "other" but doesn't appear at all in the total consumption?

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Maybe these alcohols aren't pure alcohols in of itself, just the drink overall.

EDIT: It's pure alcohol. This stat is wack.

[–] groet@infosec.pub 4 points 3 months ago

Both charts are in L of pure alcohol. I feel like they are not the "top counties" but just a random selection. And the selection is different for both charts.

TLDR chart bad

Also Moldovia drinks the most alcohol but is 9th in wine, 10th in spirits and doesn't even rank top 10 in any of the other categories...

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 27 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I don't even drink alcohol but it is an affront to Germany that the beer in this image is depicted with fucking plastic cups instead of beer mugs.

[–] norimee@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Ah yes. The germans always need something to complain. This info graphic doesn't force you to drink your beer from red cups.

Nur Nörgler und Meckerer hier.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

We wouldn't even know where to find red cups...

Ja dann sprich für DICH und nicht was "Deutschland" beleidigt. Ist nicht jeder so engstirnig und spießig wie du.

"in 14 years they're decomposable" really?

[–] mriormro@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I believe this is a silly drinking song, not a scientific paper to be cited.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

I believe many people will take it as fact upon hearing it lol

Denmark and Slovakia have their flags (or labels) swapped

[–] thebustinator@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Probably labels, since they are also not in the correct sort order...

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 11 points 3 months ago

I find it really weird cider is grouped in with other. Speaking of other. Why is NZ in such a weird placement?

Also I know the Aussie drink pre mixed shit, does that just come under spirits?

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I have read here on lemmy that "being sober is a super power" and I do want to be a super hero too.

So take care people, IWDWYT !stopdrinking@lemmy.world

[–] Azzu@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

IWDWYT

I will drink water you turds?

[–] Skunk@jlai.lu 1 points 3 months ago

I won’t drink with you today

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

As an American I think it's probably best that we stay off the top of this list. Way, way off.

[–] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 4 points 3 months ago

Not too sure about Andorra, it's a tax haven so people go there to load up on smokes & booze (and hopefully get them across the border)

[–] ahal@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Korea spoiling the European sweep

[–] Wanderer@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Guess I know which country I'm going to when I go to Asia.

[–] katja@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm thinking Denmark gets a bit of a boost in these numbers from Swedes going across the border to buy cheaper alcohol. It's legal to do, but they fine a lot of Swedes for overloaded cars and trailers coming back.

I doubt many Swedes living close to Denmark even knows where their local monopoly is. Just kidding, all Swedes can sense where the Systembolag is.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Probably the same story with Andorra.

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Russia and Hungary should lay off the Booze

[–] Biotron1@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Il n'y a pas un problème entre les statistiques du haut et celles du bas? (Cf l'Ouganda). J'ai été voir sur les commentaires du post Reddit original mais n'ai pas trouvé de réponse pertinente. Les mêmes questions cependant

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

Le haut calcule en litres d'alcool pur, le bas en litres de boisson. Il faut plus de litres de bière que de litres de spiritueux pour avoir un litre d'alcool pur. J'imagine qu'en Ouganda on boit beaucoup d'une boisson peu alcoolisée.

Édit : c'est faux, je devrais pas poster pas réveillé 😅

[–] Biotron1@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

En bas: "Choose your poison... In litres of pure alcohol"

[–] urrlich@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Non... "In litres of pure alcohol consumed per capita"

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Ah oui en effet, j'étais mal réveillé 😅
