People in Britain are fairly renowned for their drinking habits. By 2004, Britons had begun drinking almost three times as much alcohol as they had in the 1950s (a period cited as “Peak Booze”), while the UK frequently comes out top in surveys of the world’s heaviest drinkers.

For instance, a study of 6,500 people across the UK, Germany, Australia, America and China found that British people were more likely to binge drink, go to the pub and drink at home (hopefully not in the same day).

Frequent drinking for Britons becomes more common in middle to old age, particularly amongst men. As we grow older we tend to shift into regular drinking patterns: men drink most days of the week while the majority of women tend to drink monthly or on special occasions.

Women in the UK have been catching up on men with their drinking habits in recent years: "Dangerous levels" of alcohol consumption among better-educated women was cited as one reason for this in a study released in May 2015, which bucked a downward trend of drinking in industrialised countries.

But there are still disparities seen in unit consumption and how often men and women drink per week, along with the beverages they choose.

Take our slightly (not really) scientific quiz and see if we can guess your gender based on your drinking habits. Please drink responsibly!
