For what its worth it I looked up the data to disprove you but it actually backs you up. The data says that Germans drink more than Americans but have lower rates of alcoholism and liver disease.

- bnralt 5y agoWhen factoring in the alcohol-attributable fractions, it looks like German males have slightly higher rates of liver failure because of alcohol than American males, while German females have slightly less than American females. An this is with the U.S. population demographically being much more susceptible to alcohol liver disease than Germany[1]. Looking at the numbers, I think there's a real possibility that Germans and other Europeans have a problem with alcohol that's just as bad if not worse, but are possibly less willing to admit it. Just like how 70 years ago few in America would be willing to admit America's problems with alcohol and tobacco.
