Britain may be a nation of binge drinkers, but compared to Luxembourg's tiny population, we are positively sober.

But oddly, we're ahead of Russia - any ideas why?
These figures are the latest available from the World Health Organisation, which has a searchable database of every possible health indicator in the world and is the most credible source available.
