People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
  7. If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

You do know alcohol comes in other forms, right?

Per capita, UK alcohol consumption is actually just slightly ahead of WI. But the UK is also only 22nd globally by rank.

Romania drinks 150% of what WI drinks per capita, and a lot of that is wine and brandy.

Right. But hey look, these stats are pretty unreliable the more I look into them. I've seen plenty that put the UK avg and WI avg close enough to be negligible.

I dunno, man. I've seen WI and UK drinking. It's not a pissing contest worth having online from either side.
