Top Ten Alcohol Consuming Nations

Factoid


Top Ten Alcohol Consuming Nations - from a World Health Organization report in absolute gallon consumption per capita.

1. Portugal, 2.98
2. Luxembourg, 2.95
3. France, 2.87
4. Hungary, 2.66
5. Spain, 2.66
6. Czech Republic, 2.64
7. Denmark, 2.61
8. Germany, 2.50
9. Austria, 2.50
10. Switzerland, 2.43

Notice how the United States isn't even on the list? The U.S. comes in 32nd on the list, consuming an average 1.75 absolute gallons of alcohol per capita. By absolute gallons they mean only the actual alcohol within a drink. So a gallon of wine doesn't count as a gallon. Only the amount of alcohol within the wine counts towards an absolute gallon.
