I had a guy say to me in a bar last night (in a rather snobby tone), ‘what do you DO in Korea if you don’t drink…’ Gosh, I just don’t know how I survive. alexyang: kellyinkorea: According to the World Health Organization’s “Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health 2011,” the average global alcohol consumption from 2003 to 2005 was 6.1 liters per person per year. Korea’s average was more than twice that at 14.8 liters. That’s 14.8 liters of pure alcohol, not total alcohol.
