Hey Guys,
In this post I take a look at the Global Health Observatory data made available by the World Health Organization and aggregated by knoema to point out the top 10 countries by alcohol consumption

Interesting to note that 9 out of the 10 countries in the top 10 are in europe :)

I'm a bit surprised to see Ireland and Germany below the top20...
Exactly my opinion!
@fraenk @reggaemuffin lol, Remember this analysis is based on a generalised dataset of alcohol. I could look into rankings by type of alchohol eg Beer, Spirits, Vodka etc. I bet Ireland and Germany would be higher up on the list then
In favor of such an analysis!

I followed you immediately. I assume you are in Nigeria? I am in South Africa. I am glad we are not entirely in the top 10 of this list, although I am actually surprised. Most of the top 10 are, of course, raised on vodka with breakfast... I do not mean to make a silly, generalized remark here. I am actually really wondering about whether there is truth in the vodka with breakfast stories in those countries.
Yeah I am in Nigeria. Lol its very funny the way you put it
Pretty sure most people are raised with coffee or tea with breakfast hehe , let us hope someone clarifies this. Thanks for the follow
Interesting information, I wonder where Finland is on the list, people from countrys around us always joke about how much alcohol finns consume. Well ofc Russia outclasses us...
Finland is pretty High up. Finland is ranked 13 just after UK with an estimated 11.9 liters per capita alcohol consumption
Thanks for the information! :)
This is per person if I understood right? But 11.9L per person on a how long period? I believe a person can't consume 12L a day?
Interesting to see this, followed!
Thanks
Russia is not first ?:) tip!
Not on this list lol I bet if I break down the analysis by type of alcohol , Russia would probably be number one for vodka or spirits. Would check it out. Thanks for the tip :)

Interesting to see Germany so far down in the list, I am disappointed xD
tip! link
Interesting. Upvoted. (You may want to correct the misspelling of the word "Country" in your table. Interesting to also follow how the efforts on sales tax of alcohol and consumer awareness affect health and consumption statistics.
Thanks for pointing out that error,updated it. Interesting angle you bring there, sales tax as well as Government regulation definitely affects consumption. I would check out this angle. Cheers
hehehehe, i was expecting to see Nigeria among the top 5
Wow! Nigeria ahead of Germany??? Never saw that one coming!
I drink only 4.6 liters :)
Nigeria is number 23, not bad at least we are not number 1 this time
Pretty amazing that Japan is not on there. They drink a lot! Even women. I'm also surprised to see Australia so high. Party on!
Idk how accurate this is but. I could have sworn Russian and the US would be in the top 3 lol.
