About the indicator

Alcohol consumption per person aged 15 and over, converted into liters of pure alcohol per year. The conversion is needed in order to compare countries with different drinking cultures: ten liters of pure alcohol is both a hundred liters of wine and two hundred fifty liters of beer. The estimate also includes unrecorded alcohol — homemade and illegal — which WHO estimates separately and which in a number of countries makes up a noticeable share.

Important: Per person over the age of 15, not per whole population and not per drinker. In countries where a significant part of the population does not drink at all, the consumption of those who do is correspondingly higher than the calculated average.
