How much beer does your country drink?
List of countries by beer consumption per capita. SA is only 22nd. I better start drinking, we've a long way to go to get to the top.
Agreed - it is not just drunken driving, it is all our crime stats. The percentage is very high of crimes committed under the influence.
But one can drink plenty of beer and not endanger yourself and others!
However here in SA we have a struggling-to-improve public transport system which I think contributes to the drunk driving incidents. We also have the unfortunate national attitude of either "it's the government's problem" or "the devil made me do it".

another interesting survey to conduct would be how many beer drinkers drive drunk - I'm sure we, as a country, would be close to the top of that list!
