Feast’o’festive facts!<\/b>
Brits rule the world when it comes to Christmas partying!<\/p>\n

According to a survey in the Guardian, the alcohol consumption of boozing Brits goes up by 41% over Christmas, beating Canada and Germany at 36% each. Killjoy Americans only manage a wussy 29%.<\/p>\n

Maybe because of the drunken mayhem at home, more Brits go away for festive holidays than anyone else (189 per 1,000) – more than four times as many as homeboy Americans.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, the gun toting Yanks also manage to knock off more of each over Christmas too, with 0.74 murders per 100,000 people (0.17 UK, 0.16 Canada, 0.41 France).<\/p>\n

When it comes to God-squading, the US has got us well and truly beaten, with a thumping great 550 people per 1,000 attending church – even more than Italy (490 per 1,000). Brits are clearly too busy in the pub, with the lowest percentage in Europe (160\/1,000).<\/p>\n
