Australia barely makes into the list, but at the bottom, no. 10.

Germany famous of its beer industry, only makes no. 9.

France is no. 4. In France, wine is consumed alongside every meal except breakfast. It's often more freely available, and cheaper, than water. Supermarkets rarely sell alcohol that isn't French. They're happy to eat snails, but they won't touch Belgian beer.

Always sloshed Russia makes no. 3. Classic drink: Vodka. Hangover cure: Vodka.

Great Britain makes the top of the list. While the Irish have one date to celebrate their country's abiding love of alcohol, St. Patrick day, the British have three: yesterday, today and tomorrow. Classic drink: Pint of bitter -- traditional ale that, contrary to popular belief, is rarely served warm. Hangover cure: Full English breakfast -- a greasy plate of fried meat that, contrary to health and safety regulations, is rarely served warm.
