All in all, the survey shows that bad things happen after drinking more often to British drinkers than the average global drinker. Want another example? Here's one: we are the world champions of not remembering what we've done the night before, which you can either blame on our fondness for super-strength beers like Special Brew, or the British predilection for getting pissed in order to do or say things we're too scared to do sober.But despite people deserting boozed-up Britain in a huff and the claims that we're a global "laughing stock" because of some photos of drunk people in a Daily Mail article, the survey found that our perceived reputation as the world's number one pisshead isn't entirely accurate.That crown goes to Ireland, whose prime minister Enda Kenny had to deny in March that St. Patrick's Day was just an excuse to get hammered after Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott delivered an address where he talked about drinking Guinness on Ireland's alleged holy day. The survey found the Irish also had the highest rates of people needing emergency treatment after drinking, with nearly three in every 100 drinkers requiring a medic after a session.READ ON MUNCHIES: UK Pubs Are Treating Prosecco Like Beer, and Italy Is Pissed
