<p>Do you drink like a Belorusian or a Kuwaiti? Have fun with this booze calculator :)</p>

<p>I got:

</p>

3

<p>Portuguese</p>

4

<p>“You drink like you’re from Timor-Leste, which is the joint eighth lightest-drinking country in the world.”</p>

5

<p>You drink like you’re from Timor-Leste, which is the joint eighth lightest-drinking country in the world.</p>

<p>Dang! I’m Italian/French! I need to step-up my wine consumption! ;)</p>

6

<p>Another lightweight here.</p>

7

<p>I am somewhere near the middle in terms of consumption - Italy.</p>

8

<p>Two years ago: Belarus
One year ago: Portugal
Today: Timor-Leste</p>

9

<p>How many here heard of Timor-Leste for the first time today?</p>

10

<p>I know East Timor only because of my uncle who studies rare and endangered wildlife.</p>

<p>I got Botswana. Next week I’ll be Romanian with the holidays.</p>

11

<p>I didn’t know it’s official name was Timor-Leste but other than that I’m very familiar with East Timor and it’s recent (last 30 years or so) history. </p>

12

<p>LOL! I’m Kuwait this week: “Nearly all of Kuwait’s inhabitants also abstain - selling or drinking alcohol is illegal in the country. Kuwait is the lightest-drinking country in the world.” Might have to fix that with dinner this evening!</p>

13

<p>Well I got Portugal, but I was on vacation last week and drank more than usual.</p>

<p>You drink like you’re from Portugal, which is the 11th heaviest-drinking country in the world.</p>

<p>If I go back and do a normal week, I get Australia (apparently tied with France)</p>

<p>You drink like you’re from Australia, which is the joint 18th heaviest-drinking country in the world</p>

<p>I’m of Irish descent, when I check Ireland it is the joint 21st heaviest drinking country listed.</p>

14

<p>Equatorial Guinea, which is apparently a lightweight country. Darn, I’m letting down my Irish-Polish roots. </p>

15

<p>

</p>

<p>And this was an aberration week for me- much more than I normally drink. </p>

16

<p>

</p>

<p>I don’t think I’m having enough fun. </p>

17

<p>France! Big surprise! :)</p>

18

<p>Last week I drank like a Frenchman, usually I drink like someone from Equatorial Guinea.</p>

19

<p>I have been on vacation since Tuesday. I am now drinking like a Romania.</p>

20

<p>Apparently I drink like I’m French, at least when I’m not working. I was trying to figure out the heaviest drinking country, so I put in 40 glasses of wine! It said that my drinking habits would be unlike any bounty in the world, with the closest being Belarus. That much wine would probably kill you in a short time.</p>
