The Drunkest Countries in the World, Mapped

The average person who is 15 or older, globally, drinks 26.2 cups of pure alcohol in a given year, according to a new report from the World Health Organization (WHO). That equates to a little less than half an ounce of pure alcohol each day

The highest consumption levels continue to be found in the developed world, the report states, noting in particular in the WHO European Region (including countries like Austria, Germany, Russia and the UK) and the WHO Region of the Americas (including all of the countries in North, Central and South America).
