Celebration is never complete without the involvement of alcohol -this is perhaps one the things the world has been blessed with without realizing it. While alcohol often gets a bad rap, truth is that, there are also lots of benefits in it too. But we don't often talk about it, maybe because we aren't aware of them or because we feel that the benefits are not so real or maybe perhaps we don't want it to look as if we've recieved a free ticket to being a drunk. While alcohol holds a record of being one of the greatest gifts to the world, let us quickly look how much countries actually cherish this gift. 
Below are countries where boozing is one of the best ways to live. They hold the world's record of alcohol consumption. Do not be alarmed if your country is there.

This is a actually a gift nothing can take from them, not even Corona Virus.
