The Top Drinking Nations In 2020

World Population Review crunched the numbers to show us the biggest drinkers of 2020. They found each country’s beer, wine, and spirits consumption per capita and converted the numbers to the pure alcohol consumption of each of these drinks. For example, one handle of vodka (1.75 liters) is about 300 milliliters of pure alcohol.

1. Belarus (14.4 liters)

Belarus takes the crown for the most alcohol in the world of 14.4 liters per person per year. That comes to about 48 handles of vodka per person per year. There are only 52 weeks in the year. I’m getting a hangover just typing this.

2. Lithuania (12.9 liters)

3. Grenada (11.9 liters)

4. Czech Republic (11.8 liters)

5. France (11.8 liters)

6. Russia (11.5 liters)

7. Ireland (11.4 liters)

8. Luxembourg (11.4 liters)

9. Slovakia (11.4 liters)

10. Germany (11.3 liters)

25. And waaaay down the list is the good old US of A (8.3 liters)
