35 / 100
Mostly False

The text states that about 1 person in 100 globally is always drunk.

Infact verdict: Mostly False (35/100).

The claim that about 1 person in 100 globally is always drunk is not supported by the evidence. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 7% of the global population aged 15 and older have alcohol use disorders, which translates to about 1 in 15 people, not 1 in 100. This indicates that the claim is exaggerated and misleading. The evidence does not support the notion that such a high percentage of the population is constantly drunk.
