UK drinks the most, India the least

Indians drink the least in the world, with just 27 per cent ever having a tipple - compared with the international average of 71 per cent, says a survey.

The survey found that Britons, from whom Indians imbibed their taste for a drink, are the booziest people - around 84 per cent are drinkers, way ahead of the lowest ranking, India.

The survey found nearly one in 10 Britons admits to drinking every day - almost twice the number in France.

Around 41 per cent of Britons drink regularly, more than the nearest rivals in Australia, 27 per cent, and the international average of 17 per cent, the Daily Mail reports.
