Switzerland defying boredom
Dear friends,
Some original news for you to take on today:
Swiss banking cities, which were "snobbed" by certain Hedge Fund firms in the past years for lacking nightlife culture, are climbing rankings, which should probably not make them feel too proud about, that compete with the biggests financial centers, that is Cocaine consumption rankings.
Yes! You read that right.

In a survey done of 60 European cities by the EMCDDA Geneva and Zurich placed themselves in the top 5 in 2017 average Cocaine consumption per inhabitant.
The study has been done by scientists across Europe by examining samples of wastewater provided by treatment plants.
See graph below:

As you can imagine, during weekends, the consumption statistics spike, as you can see from the chart below, I have selected some cities and there you can notice that Zurich, on Saturday night has the highest consumption rates in Europe!!! Not that much of a "boring" city is it?

Additionally it is interesting to note that since a couple of years, Swiss cities have seen the biggest increase in consumption rates of Cocaine (see chart below)

We can deduct that the higher per capita income plays a part of this increase in consumption, while at the same time, the findings contradict the reputation that Switzerland has for being a little dull.
- Will Hedge funds now reconsider settling in Switzerland? ;)
Bests,

Nice post. Doesn't look like you are getting the votes you deserve though. You should check out steemengine.
Pretty crazy data that you have gathered. Good research.
Bravo @fedescolari top post as usual!
Ma figurati, si sa... trovi tutto in Svizzera non solo cocaina, e la base è Zürich!
Ma anche da noi vanno da un estremo ad un altro, se ti fumi una canna prima si e poi no con multa, mentre se ti fai di eroina in Ticino ti pagano l'albergo, siccome non abbiamo centri d'accoglienza di questro tipo..... non è mica una malattia drogarsi, i soldi sociali devono andare a chi è andicappato e bisogna iniziare a fare delle regole che si basino su una morale e non sulle mode.... e anche sull'alcool bisonerebbe rivedere alcune leggi secondo me, perché non si può essere così tolleranti con l'alcool quando sulle sigarette ci sono delle immagini che ti viene da rimettere.... vorrei vederle sullo Champagne! :-))))
Ciao grazie del commento. Ehehe sullo champagne :) sarebbe brutto per l etichetta però si, fa piu morti l alcool
Volentieri :-D Salutoni
THat's so funny! I read this article a while back in 20 minutes, wasn't Zurich #1 for a while? Seems like they're slacking LMAO
