Amsterdam drunk man attempts to relieve himself into canal, falls in, hits his head and drowns rate: extremely high

Plan your tourism accordingly.

This is not a joke, this is literally true. Amsterdam is probably the only place that has ever built more public toilets with the specific aim of reducing deaths by drowning.

Too large of a coast to build toilets everywhere, though.

Especially if you don't actually know how to swim.

Here in Denmark they paint the ladders out of the water orange and place a light over them - but I'm not aware of any statistics on how many drowned drunk men were found with their fly open.

Maybe we have the wrong solution. I mean we can often learn from the Dutch, especially related to water.
