Y'all have never encountered Wisconsinites, and it shows.

Slow news day in WI:

"Steven's Point man arrested for 16th DUI."

Not much of an exaggeration, sadly.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Is a Wisconsin Driver's license even valid without at least one DUI on your record?

As a sconie, I came here to say this.

Yeah America has some pockets that just... are not human when it comes to drink. Like i can safely say your avg brit, irsh or scott would, can and does drink 95% of America under the table. But of that last 5%... iv seen things... things even the czechs would claim is unhuman.

If you want a better idea of how Wisconsin drinks.

Scotland versus all 50 states: Wisconsin carries the team.

Scotland versus 49 states except Wisconsin: I'm not sure how this would turn out but I suspect Scotland would win.

Scotland plus Wisconsin versus the other 49 states: sort of like a professional sports team playing a high school sports team.

In Ireland I was a student.

In France I was considered an alcoholic.

After returning from a vacation to America, an English Youtuber was talking about the cultural differences, and said that what they call "going to a pub in the evening," Americans would call "a serious drinking problem."

Vacation vs Work Week... I'd be curious how it would go vacation vs vacation

When you drop everything to fly halfway around the world to warch grown men in shorts run around and chase a ball for 90 minutes, then drink all the beer in a given area.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Sounds divine tbh

Forget America, I wanna see the UK go head to head with Romania

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Why not cut out the extra steps and just say you'd like to see the UK cease to exist?

This would never happen in the Midwest.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

They considered running out of beer, running out of everything but bud light and Coors. So yeah, I am sure it would.

As much as I hate the USA, this is the first time I'm ready to compete for my country. I'll have a double-shot and a Pilsner, please!

We need a UK vs Turkey tea-drinking contest.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To make this simulation a little easier to the compare the Western US is ~80M people and I think the UK takes em down comfortably.

The Great Lakes region would take down the UK, but in a much closer and drunker matchup.

[–] ToastedRavioli@midwest.social 5 points 1 month ago

The western US has the secret elevation advantage. If were battling at sea level, mountain homies will be 10 drinks deep before they even feel a thing

Based on my backpacking trips and edm days, id agree. UK goes hard AF

[–] PumpkinSkink@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (5 children)

I was curious. The UK drank 12% more per capita than the US in 2022. 10.8 L/person year for the UK and 9.8 L/person year for the US.

Send them to Wisconsin next. The standing BAC for elementary school kids is .12.

This whole thread feels like reading ShitAmericansSay, it's hilarious :,D

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Challenge accepted.

I'm in Santa Fe, only a mile and a half above sea level. Wanna go lower in altitude? Guess I'll drink double. And since you invited me, you're paying, yes?

I know this is a joke.

If every person in the US could handle 2 drinks, every person in the UK would have to drink 9 of the same to keep up.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Exactly! The US doesn’t stand a chance

So now that we know the British don't drink as much as they think are they ready to admit their beer isn't all that good compared to the continent

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

India Pale Ale is good ale. I know others make a lot of good beer I don't even know about, like the Czechs especially, belgium went all corporate.

What do you consider good beer? Because heavy hops is non negotiable for many of us, that may prefer the 7.6% ales over the weak ass corporate bullshit they sell to the sheep hereabouts.

Is probably my favorite beer company, I generally prefer the pils unless it cold then I prefer the Dunkel.

IPAs are my least favorite they go from too much hops to an unbelievably too much hops.
