People drinking a lot can hardly be called culture. It is like saying all Swiss citizens are bankers, or that all Germans eat meat. This has nothing to do with culture. Rather, it’s just a misconception overall that most people have about the said country, a stereotype, should I say.

Alcohol is a big problem, but we have a noticeable move to 7th place. Wikipedia will update its data soon (the Russian version has already done this).
Next to Lithuania are Austria (11.8 liters) and France (11.7). The five" leaders " are completed by the Czech Republic (11.6 liters) and Luxembourg (11.3 liters). The sixth place was shared by Latvia and Ireland, whose residents consume 11.2 liters of alcohol on average. Hungary, along with Russia, was also in seventh place with an indicator of 11.1 liters. Eighth place was awarded to Germany (10.8 liters), ninth — to Portugal (10.7 liters) and tenth — to Poland (10.6 liters).
I wrote about alcohol, because not so long ago I had one conversation about culture, where they told me: what is your culture there? It’s cold, everyone drinks vodka, bears roam the cities, etc. In general, that’s the whole culture. The conversation did not work out. :grinning face:
