What’s amazing is that all of them are European countries except Australia. None of the South American countries made top 10 list and that’s surprising to me.
I come form the Czech republic, and you wouldn’t believe how many people are proud of this statistics. I’m not among them though – I’d rather see my country on other types of “top 10″ lists.
I am really surprised that the USA is not in the top 10 list, currently I am a college student, I don’t drink, but I know that many of the students drink ALOT, and i mean ALOT, they all basically drink to just get super drunk, so it is surprising that the USA is not on the list. I also agree with the CanadaImmigration guy, in the fact that there are no South American countries listed, I thought at least one would make it.
Till then,

This list is quite surprising. Some obvious countries are up there, but other obvious countries are not. I thought my german, scottish & irish heritage would all be on the list.
