Argentina, that mythical land of nose jobs and activities made to ruin them completely, has topped the United Nations list of cocaine-abusing nations in Latin America. Otherwise known as “Top Spring Break Locales for Future i-Bankers:”

The UN’s “World Report on Drugs”, based on polls conducted in 2006, said Argentina has registered strong growth in cocaine consumption in recent years. It is also the second-highest consumer of marijuana and Ecstasy pills in Latin America.

About 2.6 percent of Argentines aged between 12 and 65 years (some 640,000 people) in 2006 admitted to have consumed cocaine at least once a year, compared to 1.9 percent in 1996. The figure for the United States was about 3 percent for a similar age group.

We smell a new travel campaign slogan! And possibly some burning hair:

So, cocaine use takes care of striped-shirt types and the aspiring models with daddy issues that they will eventually position in their lofts.

Marijuana takes care of bloggers.

And ecstasy takes care of people prone to dance very, very closely to you while licking their lips and also a certain genre of fabulous gay man who owns gold hotpants.

Argentina: Something For Everyone! Who Is Into Drugs. And Also Who Is Not Ugly.
