A country whose former prime minister, the legendary Bob Hawke, was once in the Guinness Book of Records for sculling 2.5 pints of beer in 2.5 seconds.

9. Germany —
Germans may not be Europe's biggest beer drinkers (that honor goes to the Czechs) but they've cornered the market in celebrating its consumption. This is largely thanks to Oktoberfest, Bavaria's month-long answer to St. Patrick's Day.

8. Uganda —

7. South Korea —
Alcohol dissolves South Korea's strict social protocols nearly as easily as it dissolves brain cells.
