Things That Change After College

1. 6:00 a.m. is when you get up, not when you go to sleep.

4. Your fantasies of having sex with three women with lesbian tendencies are replaced by fantasies of having sex with anyone at all.

8. You don't get drunk at home, to save money, before going to a club.

12. Over 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

13. You actually eat breakfast foods at breakfast time.

15. You go to the pharmacy for Asprin and antacids, not Condoms and pregnancy test kits.

16. A £2.50 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff."

17. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the music.

19. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

20. You always know where you are when you wake up.

23. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 p.m.

24. You can remember the name of the person you wake up next to.

England

Pure alcohol consumption: 10.4 liters per capita per year

Beer consumption: 99.0 liters per capita per year

When the English drink, they tend to go overboard. They drink bitters, milds, ales, stouts, porters, or the manly combo “a nip and a half” (a whisky and a half-pint). England also has a new 24-hour drinking law (to fall in line with the rest of the EU)

Finland

Pure alcohol consumption: 9.9 liters per capita per year

The Finnish winter is grim by any standard. Living in temperatures that often hover around -30° (Celsius, mind you) and nearly 24 hours of darkness, wouldn’t you drink your face off?

Ireland

Pure alcohol consumption: 14.2 liters per capita per year

Beer consumption: 131.1 liters per capita per year
