Is Your Country One Of The Top Alcohol Consuming Places?

A new report by OECD gives the world a peak of which country has the biggest alcohol consumption and which is in the last of the list.

OECD was able to gather the information through comparing data gathered back in 2000 and data gathered in 2013. The amount of alcohol consumed seemed to be larger or higher in European areas rather than in the Asian peninsula.

The data gathered by the OECD showed that Lithuania was the highest alcohol consuming countries in the world. Lithuania had an alcohol consumption of 14 liters per capita per year.

Austria, Estonia and the Czech Republic followed closely to those numbers with each country having an alcohol consumption of 11-12 liters per capita per year.

The lowest ranked country was Indonesia, with over 0 alcohol consumption per capita per year.

Other countries that had very low alcohol consumption according to the OECD data were, Turkey, Israel and India, with the alcohol consumption per capita per year hovering at around 1-3 liters.

The low numbers may be accounted for the fact that most of these countries practice strict religious and cultural reasons.

While on a positive note, most countries showed a decrease in alcohol consumption in 2013 compared to that back in 2000. But alcohol consumption in countries such as Lithuania, Poland, and Russia actually rise in that period of time.
