As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, the countries that were known for consuming the most alcohol per capita included several in Eastern Europe and some other regions. Please note that alcohol consumption patterns can change over time due to various factors. Here are a few countries that historically ranked high in alcohol consumption:
Lithuania: Known for its high consumption of alcohol, especially spirits like vodka.
Belarus: Historically, alcohol consumption, particularly vodka, has been relatively high.
Russia: Vodka has been a significant part of Russian culture, contributing to relatively high alcohol consumption.
Czech Republic: Beer consumption has been a cultural norm in the Czech Republic.
Moldova: Wine consumption is a prominent part of Moldovan culture.
Ukraine: Vodka and other spirits have contributed to high alcohol consumption rates.
Andorra: High tourism rates and cultural factors have contributed to higher alcohol consumption.
Romania: Wine and spirits have been consumed at relatively high levels.
Hungary: Wine and spirits, including pálinka (a traditional fruit brandy), are common in Hungarian culture.
Slovakia: Beer and spirits have been consumed at relatively high levels.
It's important to keep in mind that cultural, economic, and regulatory factors influence alcohol consumption rates, and these can change over time. For the most current and accurate information, you should refer to recent studies or reports on global alcohol consumption.
