The holidays and the winter months tend to have a negative impact on collective mental health.
Many jump to alcohol to make it through.
Which countries would you guess consume the most alcohol per capita?
Several people I asked quickly guessed Russia without even looking at the chart.
Well, here's the chart.

Europe did top the list with 8 of the top 10 countries. However, Russia did not make the list.

The Cook Islands top the list with almost 3.5 gallons of alcohol annually per capita.
Richest People In Human History
For the past 80~ years, John D. Rockefeller was the undisputed richest person in history, but now Elon Musk is giving him a run for his money with a $340 billion net worth.
Many historians estimate Rockefellers' inflation-adjusted net worth to be around $340B, which would tie them.
With that, I thought I'd share a chart from visualcapitalist that spotlights the richest people in history. Click to see full size.
While this is fun to look at, realistically, it's hard to get accurate numbers for many of these people. Think how much land Genghis Khan held or that Augustus Caeser essentially owned an entire empire. The calculations of their wealth are very subjective, and records from ancient eras are very scarce.
It is, however, surprising to see someone amass such personal wealth in an era with much more competition.
Do you think someone will surpass that wealth soon?
It is possible. How and why? Because we live in interesting times!
