Get The Beer's In Aussies

In another poll where the answer is 'well duh..obviously', Australia has been voted the drunkest country in the world.
The Global Drug Survey 2021 asked people in 22 nations about their alcohol consumption and found that Australians got drunk 27 times a year, double the global average of 14 times with Denmark and Finland tied in second place reporting getting drunk 23 times a year.
I assume they only got as far as 22 countries because once they got to Australia they called it, a bit like looking for the least drunk nation and starting with Saudi Arabia.
To be fair our Aussie cousins only being drunk 27 times a year, or as the report subtly puts it: 'where physical and mental faculties were impaired to the point that balance, focus, and speech were affected' is lower than i expected, after all there are 365 days in a year so maybe they held the poll in the early morning and found some still sober enough to make a coherent reply, or at least mumble one, before the breakfast beer kicked in.
At least the barbie and boomerang gang had the excuse of consuming several times their own weight in alcohol to impair their mental faculties, we have seen enough Donald Trump supporters to judge who has impaired mental faculties and the majority of those guys are teetotal.  
So enjoy your crown as the Worlds biggest drunks Australia, try not to get eaten by a wallaby and wear your hat with corks with pride.
