While studying history, one looks for not the overt but searches for undercurrents. Sociology is much the same, wherein consumption of food and grains are considered indicators of commerce and culture. Taking inspiration, we analysed Gender Inequality through the prism of alcohol consumption by both genders. Our analysis looked at data from 2010 and considered countries with 50 million+ populations and left out those where consumption was prohibited by law or religion.
