While our Brit friends may quaff the most in the G7 at Christmas, Germany and Canada come in strong second, says a BBC story.
An excerpt:
Alcohol consumption rises around Christmas by a wider margin in the UK than in any other leading Western country, a new survey has found.
In December, Britons drink 41% more than the annual monthly average - but have the lowest increase in drink-driving deaths.
Numbers of suicides fall everywhere, with the most substantial drops in Italy and Japan.
The study has been carried out by the British think-tank Policy Exchange.
It compares figures on a broad range of subjects across the G7 countries (USA, Japan, Germany, UK, France, Italy and Canada).
