As someone who rarely drinks, I am perpetually perplexed by the propensity of the British to drink alcohol in quantities that are clearly not good for them. A recent survey of 120,000 individuals in 36 countries showed that Brits reported to get drunk on average 51.1 times per year, or almost once per week – the highest number of any country in the survey. Brits also sought emergency treatment after drinking very frequently, placing second only behind Australians.
