The research organization World Population Review (WPR) has published data on alcohol consumption in countries around the world and identified the heaviest drinking and the most sober countries, including among the CIS countries.
According to the report, among post-Soviet countries, Georgia has the highest per capita annual alcohol consumption—15.5 liters. Tajikistan has the lowest—0.7 liters per capita per year. In Kazakhstan, the figure is 5.4 liters, and in Russia, 10.5 liters. Among the CIS countries, Belarus has the highest figure—11.4 liters per capita per year.
Romania is recognized as the world's highest alcohol consumer, with 17.1 liters per capita. Georgia is second with 15.5 liters, and Latvia is third with 14.7 liters. Moldova (14.1 liters) and the Czech Republic (13.7 liters) also round out the top five.
For some countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, there are no data on alcohol consumption. The lowest levels—0.1 liters per person per year—are recorded in Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, as well as Iran, Syria, and Kuwait.
