Alcohol is to blame for the high suicide rate in Baltic republics (the highest in Europe):
“It is considered bad form in the Baltics to refuse the offer of a drink or not to finish a bottle of liquor once it has been opened. The person who finishes a bottle is expected to buy another one.”
This is one of the reason why doctors do not recommend drinking alcohol to increase low HDL levels: you never know who will overdo it.
