Misused and/or misunderstood data
I see this chart he said came from CNN ...
Doesn't look right to me, I only know one person who gets drunk most Saturday nights, the rest having 1 or 2 glasses of wine or a beers 99% of the time. Maybe I'm out of touch as I never ask anyone if they're drunk when I shoo them off the lawn. I go to CNN and find they grabbed it from the 2019 Global Drug Survey, so I go there and grab the pdf of the Exec Summary. GDS2019 ran from October 29 – December 30, 2018. Data from 123,814 people from > 30 countries who were self reporting • 59% were male • The mean age was 29 years • 57% of the sample aged 25 years or under and 19% aged 35 years and older • 87% of the sample was white • 60% reported going clubbing 4 or more times a year. I think that sample does not represent the population of any country, making the presentation by CNN misused and misunderstood. That report covered a lot more, drugs, their cost/quality/value, how often an EMT was called, etc, but again a small demographic. Of the 20 drugs used most commonly in the last 12 months: • 4 were tobacco/nicotine-based products • 6 were psychedelic/dissociative drugs • 4 were stimulant drugs • 3 were prescription CNS depressants The top 10 drugs used in the last 12 months(excluding alcohol and tobacco/nicotine) • Cannabis • MDMA • Cocaine • Amphetamines • LSD • Magic Mushrooms • Benzodiazepines • Prescription Opioids • Ketamine • Nitrous Oxide

I would not trust any chart referencing anything about drunkenness that does not include Russia.
