Europeans are the world’s heaviest drinkers: How do countries compare?

[Social Media]

Among the 10 countries that drink the most in the world, nine are in the EU. But there are big differences between nations.

 

If you feel that Europeans drink a lot, your hunch is correct: people across the continent consume more alcohol than in any other part of the world.

 

Each year in Europe, every person aged 15 and over consumes, on average, 9.5 litres of pure alcohol, which is equivalent to around 190 litres of beer, 80 litres of wine or 24 litres of spirits.

That’s according to the 2021 European health report by the World Health Organization (WHO).

I would like to see a comparison with Thailand's rural drinkers as I see no people with hobbies here except the consumption of alcohol.

Finland has the most alkies, they are worse than Scots. 

Many don't believe me here when I tell them I used to drink 2 large bottles of Sang Thip(Thai 'rum') every day and a few large Changs(when it was stronger)

The U.K would be about in the middle of the graph with nine other Countries drinking more than the U.K.
