Not only that!
“The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or the Americans. On the other hand, the French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or the Americans.
The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or the Americans. The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or the Americans.
Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. It’s speaking English that kills you.”

The serious answer would be to not drink milk as a grownup. But I like yours better.

Or do your research, and realise that all the research on what causes heart attacks, strokes, obesity, and the like doesn't point to fat (which is perfectly healthy stuff), but to sugar (which, like oxygen, is a volatile substance that can cause major problems for your heart, liver, kidneys, brain, etc.)
That doesn't mean "Stop Eating Sugar!", because that would result in major problems (like agony in your muscles), but it does mean "stop eating preprocessed food" and "never use a recipe for anything that comes from anyone who has ever been near the US").

More like the data was analyzed incorrectly. Russians only get drunk once/year, it's just that they do it as a 365 day bender.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Possible non-linguistic arguments:
0) Better beer?: the dominance of the UK and the presence of the Czech Republic on the list suggests that good beer may well be a factor but the argument falls down when you get to America. And why aren't the Belgians in the top 5? Those lads know how to brew.
1) Weather?: at first glance it seems to be places where its hot in summer so the population have to drink to cool down and it's too cold in the winter to contemplate leaving the pub. India and Mexico kind of buck the trend, though.
2) Price?: certainly knocks the Scandinavian types down the list a bit (still a very good showing from Denmark, mind) but hang on, beer duty in the UK is pretty obscene and we're still top of the pop-swillers.
3) Religious types/vegans/health nuts/general weirdos?: no shortage of these in the UK so scratch that one.
4) Better things to do?: is there something really awesome to be doing in Poland, Nigeria, Ecuador, the US Virgin Islands and other places that totally fail to dent the list? Maybe, but I very much doubt it.
I think the OP is correct, it's all about speaking English ...

Given the price of booze, I'm not surprised about where the Norwegians landed. Still, the UK would consume over twice as much as the Germans, which is hard to fathom.

At least a lad like you is safe from that - I hear those inflatable dolls cannot turn their head.

Most of spoken languages are written LtR (Left-to-Right) but Maths, the number language, is actually written RtL because the decimal numbers are Arabic numerals. (I know, most will get surprised, but it's true about Maths RtL direction.) But somehow the RtL and LtR languages got mixed up.
Instead of writing
x = a + 12 how about changing it to
a + 12 = x So, what are your views on creating a new programming language which follows proper LtR execution? Is there already such language? (Please, just don't remind me that there are already lots of programming languages (I know already) and I must not (try to) create one more. )
