Well, 10 is australia.

Don't know what the other 9 were because they were STREWN ACROSS 7 MORE PAGES. Since when does a 10 item list need 8 pages? Fark! Why do people do that? Is it a page view / ad revenue thing?

Also as someone on the way to the boozefest that is a Scottish wedding, I shall not be letting the side down.
Haha America you suck at drinking.

Did you, um, ya know, scroll down? 'Cos they were all on one page for me in Chrome.

Oddly enough, I'm on a phone and it was all one page for me. Is your mouse broken? You can't click next page?

scrolling down works too, seeing as the entire list is on the first page

This is an outrage!

Ireland didn't make the top 10?

Spaced Lion		2013-03-16 09:01:55 AM

Do you have any idea, Subby, how much liquor we'd have to give up to qualify as a country?

reillan		2013-03-16 09:04:17 AM

For what it's worth, I am pulling my weight in trying to get the U.S. onto that list!

gambitsgirl		2013-03-16 09:34:07 AM

Read the comments. The French got pissy. Again. Of course.

Well, we once decided to take a vote on it once we all sobered up... but that's been years ago.

As it is, somehow... we decided on being an antonymous collective, an anarcho-syndicalist commune. We take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. I'm surprised a vote was taken since it takes a simple majority on internal matters... and no one gets up early enough to vote.

I don't really know where that came from. I must've blacked out. There also seems to be an amendment dealing with møøse[sic] bites... which, apparently can be "pretty nasti"[sic]. I guess moose were a real problem in the early 2000's.

Hm, some of the top consuming nations are not listed.

While the exact tanking varies from year to year:
Hungary - top/one of the top alcohol per capita consumption
Czech Republic - top/one of the top beer per capita consumption

krafty420		2013-03-16 10:16:53 AM

This list fails for not including Canada

Russ1642		2013-03-16 10:34:01 AM

uttertosh: Ireland didn't make the top 10?

Last time I checked a list of drinking per capita Ireland was #1 and Russia #2.

Mock26		2013-03-16 10:44:32 AM

List is a Fail! without Finland or Ireland.

Old Man Winter		2013-03-16 01:07:39 PM

With seven and a half years worth of Lootie photoshops, we would be dead last in Human Rights.

I'm on a phone and I'm in an are a where I'm lucky if I get 3g. It took me 30 seconds to load the one paragraph page. Not doing it 8 times. Maybe its just this browser that sucks. Other pages don't do that though. (Unless it's Shortlist.com.)

uttertosh: Ireland didn't make the top 10?

I think the list was meant to be top ten countries not named Ireland. Could be wrong, though; haven't started drinking yet.

/Alright, now I have. Give me a bit to catch up.

Fark could become a non-voting observer state, like Palestine and the Holy See. Right to complain without obligation to vote is already in Fark's TOS, isn't it?

well, yeah, unless you run NoScript, or AdBlock or something. Check your Whitelist...
