Is this one of those things where certain places don’t categorize this the same way? Because there’s no shortage of drinking done in Spain, Ireland, Greece, and Italy and the numbers are comically low in comparison.
> Alcoholism in Ireland is a significant public health problem. In Ireland, 70.0% of Irish men and 34.1% of Irish women aged 15+ are considered to be hazardous drinkers.
So I have to question if there’s something odd going on here statistically like maybe Ireland and other places just don’t consider certain things to qualify under the same definition as other places.
I doubt this is not due to a difference in reporting practices between countries…
How was this measured?
I wonder how many of these PatoJanusz (my own term for drunk assholes who just drink on various benches all over town all day) are PiS voters.
Slovenia what’s up?
Well, those having major changes probably started counting in a different way. But seriously, these stats are probably as useless as it comes.

On the “[Alcoholism in Ireland](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcoholism_in_Ireland)” wiki page, the first sentence is the following:
