And if you’ve ever been to a Saint Paddy’s Day parade, you’ll never doubt an Irish man’s ability to drink. According to a London Press Associated study, 48% of Irish men binge drink at least once a week, compared to 40% in England and 9% in France.

Ireland is famous for its Guinness, the drunken slogan “Kiss Me, I’m Irish†and the Irish green that people wear on Saint Paddy’s Day.

You will see this more commonly in English-speaking men, who carry the genetic burden of drinking to excess. Culturally speaking, the English are goal-oriented, so when they drink, a goal emerges: getting wasted. On the other hand, in nations like France and Italy drinking usually takes place in the context of broader social rituals. Instead of binge drinking all night long, French and Italians tend to drink during mealtimes, at lunch and with dinner.
