In a village, 90% of people drink Tea, 80% Coffee, 70% Whiskey, 60% Gin.
Nobody drinks all four. What percentage of people drinks alcohol?

It feels like it could be anywhere between 60% and 100%

Is this setup even possible

because the percents add up to 300%, the average person drinks three drinks

@quinn2win

because nobody drinks four drinks, nobody can be above the average

@quinn2win

therefore, nobody can be below the average

so everybody drinks exactly 3 drinks

there's two alcohols, so everyone has to drink either whiskey or gin
