Alcohol

Belgians Are The Booziest

Belgium is well known for its beer culture. Apparently, a team of experts counted close to 1600 different beers in 2015. So, maybe it shouldn't come as a huge surprise that the Belgians consume the most alcohol of 38 countries surveyed by researchers at Ipsos. Neighboring France, tending towards the wine, comes in at second place. Surprisingly, Russian's who are often thought to have a knack for the high-octane Vodka aren't as boozy as one might assume.
