How about between 2-6 liters? Or are there no countries like that?
Interesting fun fact:
In 2020 Germany was worldwide on the third place as Tequila consumer with 4.2 million liters.
Behind USA (1) and Mexico (2).
Balanced Hungarians.
It’s weird, I always see this WHO number which does not match the statistics that I can find from Germany.
The official number in 2018 is 10,4 liters of alcohol, not 13,4.
The WHO (2018) number refers to data from 2016 instead seems to match the consumption of 1990 when it was actually 13,4 liters.
Some eatern/central europeans are on a good path. Moderate alcohol consumption is enough
And at the same time they always say that we drink a lot of alcohol in Russia.

Somehow I doubt Ukraine’s numbers
Russia’s situation seems to have improved a lot, since the 1990s.
Are those stats real for the UK and Russia? Something tells me that those are heavily underreported.
Damn I guess beer is totally dominating here
I really think Brits drink way more than the French and Belgians. Lots of outliers in the UK I guess… This data is surprising!
No way this is accurate “liters of pure alcohol per aduld” (even if those numbers were inflating due to tourism – making this even more inaccurate), since no way we Greeks drink as much or even more than Central/Nothern Europeans, and NO WAY we drink more than Ukranians/Swedes/Norweans…
Guys…drink not gulp. Goddamn.
Now I know why everyone seems so weak to me when drinking spirits like its poison (which it is but u get the point).
What counts as other?
Given its status as one of the world’s largest wine producers, I’m surprised Spain’s consumption of it is so low.
Who dont like wine?
As a Russian I find this simultaneously offensive and reassuring.
Yup. We’ve been drinking more beer than wine for a while. Personally speaking I can’t stand wine while I love beer!
Wtf why are we so low
I am working on the stats as we speak…
What’s “Other”? Denaturat?
WHO alcohol statistics never match lithuanian ones. Who invents thst we are prosucing 20-30% of alcohol in forests and drink moonshine. Spirits in Lithuania ar way overrepresented. Who has a strange way of counting “not official” alcohol.
Estonia, are you okay?
POTAS E VINHO VERDE CARALHO
I expected Italy to be way higher
Why consumption of beer is more higher – instead of wine in Spain?
In Hungary you can home distill up to 40 liters of spirit without reporting or paying any taxes. Also lots of people make wine home.
Giving away home distilled “palinka” is common. I have like 20 liter at home I never opened.
Not sure if that is counted.

Wine is for a medical reason.
Surprisingly little wine for Spain.
Wow, that’s good I’ve moved from Belgium to the Netherlands to help them improve their score.
Respect to Hungary for being so balanced.
How is something like this measured? Based on what’s being traded most?
But y’all still thinking that Russians drinks more than you. :))
Was expecting much higher beer consumption in France ngl lol
How come Poland is so low? We got to boost these rookie numbers up!
ayy Estonia
The average doesn’t tell that much. How many drink more than one portion per day (which is considered safe consumption)? How many don’t drink at all? How much is consumed in a social context, how much is used because of social problems / because people want to forget their sorrows? How many people have lost control over their habits?
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
As I understand from this map Nordic people don’t drink as much alcohol as it’s commonly said on Reddit.
What would be interesting would be liters pr day or pr hour.
Because while Norway looks light weight, much of that is consumed over weekend binge drinking.
What’s the other in Lithuania?
In Portugal wine is culture. Most drink it since childhood, they even use to have the “soups of tired horse” when you’d soak a piece of bread in red wine and give it babies/children so they’d calm down or go to sleep. The wealth of options in any simple supermarket is just amazing, and the quality is awesome! The time to pick the grapes and start doing the new wine is a true festival in many villages (September) and we even have St. martin’s day in November when we try the first wine of the season…even in school we’d celebrate it! The valley of river Douro is the oldest protected wine production area (Port), we have special names for our rosé and for our champagne although the french methods got the fame… Back in the 19th century we even made a treaty with englad to export all our Port in exchange of ALL manufactured goods we couldn’t produce, oh boy the examples just keep going… And I won’t even start about the cork, although that’s the popping sound I’m hearing right now! Saúde!
