The Drunkest Countries in the World (Maps)
Perhaps surprisingly, Russia is not the drunkest country in the world.
That title goes to Belarus, whose residents enjoy just over 2 liters of alcohol more a year than Russians.
Wasted Worldwide, a website that compares drinking habits around the world, created a series of maps that reveal which countries drink the most, what types of alcohol are most popular, and which countries have the most alcohol-related deaths. To create these maps, they used data from the 2014 Global Status Report On Alcohol and Health.
They've allowed us to publish some of their maps below.
Belarus drinks the most alcohol in the world, with an average consumption of 17.5 liters. Russia comes in second with an average consumption of 15.1 liters. The United States consumes a a relatively reasonable average of 9.2 liters, which is also less than the UK (11..6 liters) and Ireland (11.9 liters).
Unsurprisingly, countries in the Middle East and northern Africa drink the least: People in Libya and Mauritania drink an average 0.1 liters, Saudi Arabia drinks 0.2 liters, and Egypt drinks 0.4 liters.

"30% of Americans don't drink at all. Another 30% have on average of 1 drink/week. On the other hand, the top 10%- 24 million of them, consume an average of 74 drinks/week or a little more than 10 drinks/day." http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/won ... ?tid=sm_fb If you like this kinda shit - you should be perusing Sub-Reddit, Data Is Beautiful: http://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/

Hey I met a girl from Belarus once.
She was quite a looker, the little Minsk!
