How much is a drink tho? One shot or two fingers? A pint or a bottle?

I have to assume theyre using the 1 drink = 1 shot, 1Beer, or 1 glass of wine. Thats honestly not a very good gauge, but its what I usually see with these kind of stats.

1 beer can vary wildly in ABV.

That's why you use standard drinks. Except the standard differs between countries.

I occasionally do drugs and drink seldomly. I feel extenuating factors like this call into question what exactly the data is telling us.

That most substances are consumed by a small portion of the population that is wasted all day long every day.

Bet you a significant portion of that is single white women, likely former feminists. I actually read an article to that effect

74 seems high, that's ten+ drinks a day. Or are these benders of slamming two thirty packs and a bottle in a weekend?

Probably a weekend combined with the rest of the week. Also when you count someone's number of drinks you account for each ounce of 40%, half ounce of 75%, and alcohol volume of other drinks. There's also some beastly people out there who can go through a couple 40 oz bottles in a week.

A shot of liquor is consider "a drink." A pint of liquor is 10 shots. If you're a drinker, drinking a pint of day is nothing.

The ~ means approximately... and given the spectrum of the other two should be considered quite a wide band.

That said, during my worst periods I would put two 750ml bottles at 15% down a night as a baseline, but sometimes more, especially over weekends and even worse on long weekends. Not good at all, though does give some occasional insight into realizing how you really feel when you think you're on the verge of dying.

Seems high, then again i did have a distant relative that drank a 1L bottle of vodka per day. Was a woman too.

also weight affects how much you can drink, if you are fit you will get drunk much faster than someone who is fat

Does the 30% who never drink include children? So many ways to distort statistics.

Is there any reason at all to believe these numbers?

it doesn't work half of the time

???????????????????????????????

It has proven to be the most reliable host on the planet. 2 year old imgur posts are still up and work like a charm while everything else failed and turned many subs into s desert.

So how the fuck does it not work half the time?

Most of the time I want to see a pic on imgur it says Image Not Found. It happens so often that I wonder if it is intentional.
