Alcohol’s Sputnik moment

There are many battle calls made, especially by this blog. But never, never has such a call been as important as it is today. We’re losing to Russia.

America: We need to drink more, we’re falling behind in a lot of things, education, economic sway and quality of life to name a few, but alcohol consumption is one area we just can’t afford to lose. According to the World Health Organization (WHO?) from 2003 to 2005, Americans drank only 5-7.49 liters of pure alcohol per person annually on average. To put that in perspective, Russia’s up in the 12.5+ range, along with pretty much all of Europe. During those years, The Guys were in college, so we definitely upped the average for the sake of the red, white and blue.
