Highest Alcohol Consumption
Understand highest alcohol consumption: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.
Alcohol consumption statistics usually convert drinks into litres of pure alcohol. This lets beer, wine and spirits be compared on a common basis. Per-adult figures differ from per-person figures, and the average includes people who do not drink. Unrecorded production is difficult to measure, so a source may combine sales with estimates.
