Biggest Drinking Destination: Luxembourg?

Where: Luxembourg

Luxembourg drinks more alcohol per person in a year than any other country in the world.

Why don't you go ahead and re-read that last sentence. That's right, more than Ireland, more than the Germans, more than the Aussies, and they basically double up the Americans (15.5 litres to 8 litres). Those 480,000 Luxembourgoise are really pounding.

Of course, this is incredibly valuable travel information to those of you traveling through Europe this summer. Luxembourg, long thought nothing more than a train stop, and long dubbed by guide book types as low on the nightlife, may have something more to offer than originally thought.

We need help on this one. Going to Luxembourg? Been to Luxembourg? What is the nightlife like? Let us know in the comments, and send photos to the Jaunted Flickr group.

Presumably the statistics are based on sales... (none / 0)

so it's possible they're buying the booze without actually drinking it, just to keep themselves top of the league. This would make it a very attractive holiday destination because of the sheer volume of paid for but undrunk alcohol lying around.

lies, damn lies, and statistics (none / 0)

So maybe Luxembourg is really the capital of wounded soldiers?

My own experience of Luxembourg ... (none / 0)

backs up the guidebooks when they complain about the nightlife. It seemed like a sleepy country town. A pretty place, but sleepy just the same. Perhaps the Belgian/German beer-loving neighbors can buy alcohol there tax free or something???
