I don't see any problem is Alcohol Consumption as long its done responsibly. Btw. most of the country listed above, Beer is the most consumed not hard alcohols.
@Harsha Vardhana - If a person can vote at the age of 18, then he definitely can decide to drink or not.
TOI recently ran a campaign to oppose the ban imposed by Maharashtra government which increased the age limit of drinking from 18 to 21. When a leading newspaper is supporting drinking, all this fuss about negative impacts of drinking is bunkum.

Young Bangalore Girl 23 yrs old dies Sunburn beach festival in Candolim, North Goa due to drug overdose on Dec 30th Drugs are easily available in Goa One should visit Rehab centre to understand the damage it causes to the society. Netas swears by Gandhi and we all fail to understand as to why they cannot control this menace. Now young college girls have taken up drinks. Jai Hind

Body will reject excess drinking by vomiting when abdomen cannot take more, but in case of drugs story is different. Maharashtra is foolish, in a bar its not possible to check certificates or drving licence before giving beer.

there is important factor of coldness,cold areas on earth ,even women drink to get heat,just like our kashmir BSF people drink to survive in extreme cold conditions,indians may drink for fun only and to pay doctors more
Most of these countries have the highest consumption of Alcohol mailnly due to the basic fact that these countries are so cold and alchohol gives the warmth or the very much needed heat for the body

You are abolutely wrong on this front.Actually, alcohol dissipates(reduces) the heat from the body and drinking alcohol during severe cold is considered a big no. These countries drink because it is there culture.
