Sort:  

I'm a bit surprised to see Ireland and Germany below the top20...

@fraenk @reggaemuffin lol, Remember this analysis is based on a generalised dataset of alcohol. I could look into rankings by type of alchohol eg Beer, Spirits, Vodka etc. I bet Ireland and Germany would be higher up on the list then

I followed you immediately. I assume you are in Nigeria? I am in South Africa. I am glad we are not entirely in the top 10 of this list, although I am actually surprised. Most of the top 10 are, of course, raised on vodka with breakfast... I do not mean to make a silly, generalized remark here. I am actually really wondering about whether there is truth in the vodka with breakfast stories in those countries.

Yeah I am in Nigeria. Lol its very funny the way you put it

"raised on vodka with breakfast".

Pretty sure most people are raised with coffee or tea with breakfast hehe , let us hope someone clarifies this. Thanks for the follow

Interesting information, I wonder where Finland is on the list, people from countrys around us always joke about how much alcohol finns consume. Well ofc Russia outclasses us...

Finland is pretty High up. Finland is ranked 13 just after UK with an estimated 11.9 liters per capita alcohol consumption

Thanks for the information! :)

This is per person if I understood right? But 11.9L per person on a how long period? I believe a person can't consume 12L a day?

Interesting to see this, followed!

Russia is not first ?:) tip!

Not on this list lol I bet if I break down the analysis by type of alcohol , Russia would probably be number one for vodka or spirits. Would check it out. Thanks for the tip :)
