Mpg
 
A recent study found that the average Briton walks about 900 miles a year.
Another study found that Britons drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means that, on average, Britons get about 41 miles to the gallon!
Makes you proud to be British. :D:D:D

Sorry to be pedantic but what % alcohol would that be?

22x8= 976 pints alcohol

976/365= 2.674 pints per day alcohol

If it's 40% like a whiskey that's a hell of a lot of alcohol, if it's 5% like beer -more reasonable....12/13% like wine still possible /especially in Italy)

In any case still better miles per gallon than your average family saloon car:D
