That took a surprisingly long time for me to notice that they were all Lego people.

It was about time somebody cleared this up.

What a mess all those difficult letters...

Good thing that the countries that colonised the world to give it a proper alphabet were all once occupied by those Romans

This chart shows how drinking 5% beer one drink per hour gets you drunk nearly twice as fast as 4% beer because your body processes a baseline of alcoholic units per hour. So even though 5% beer is only 25% stronger than 4%, at a particular rate of consumption it's dangerous stuff.

This chart is very scary. Alcohol producers push these narratives because they know their sales are extremely top heavy. Alcoholism and binge drinking are encouraged for these reasons while other drugs are vilified.

That's interesting, I'm in the 8th decile most weeks and the 9th some other weeks, I think that's a pretty good place to be

Yes I don't think it's any sort of indictment on those who drink a few here and there, rather it just shows how addicts drive the market, and the misconception about alcohol and how dangerous it really is.

 

[really]

Scary stuff indeed.

If they'd categorised those "drinks" as units, then it'd be clearer to see how quickly people are killing their livers.

As for the ABCD chart, I wasn't aware that Norse runes descended from Etruscan, of all things.

They seem to be using Etruscan as a sort of catch-all for this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Italic_script
But all those scripts do seem to have been derived from one variant the Greek alphabet.

 

[Arakhor]

I knew of the Greek -> Phoenician -> Egyptian link, but I didn't realise that Germanic runes (possibly) descended from the Italic scripts.

Neither did I. I also didn't know about the Egyptian-> Phoenician connection.

I will say that from looking at those Italic scripts and the Germanic runes and squinting a little I'm not really surprised.

I would definitely recommend this linguistics playlist then.

I don't really understand units of alcohol cus the us uses standard drink, which is a 12 ounce serving (3/4ths a pint) or 5% beer, or a 1.5 ounce shot of 40% liquor. But 70 a week is a lot. It's like 10 glasses of wine or 10 cans of beer or 7.5 pints a day.

@Arakhor found the source which explains the "drinks" thing

Four and a half 750 mL bottles of Jack Daniels per week is...ridiculous. I don't think I've ever even come close to that.
