Last Saturday at the Kampala Beer Festival 2016, Ugandans were yet gain offered a platform to display their drinking skills and showcase to the world why they have consistently beaten their neighbours in the region when it comes to alcohol consumption.
Uganda has always emerged number one in the East African region in consuming alcohol, something they seem to be proud of going by the figures (in the global alcohol status reports) and the many booze-related events being organised in the country.
