The country that consumes the most alcohol per capita is (drum roll please…) UGANDA!
It may come as a shock, but the impoverished African country of Uganda loves their liquor. There is more pure alcohol consumed per occupant a year there then anywhere else - nearly 20 liters.
The second place prize goes to Luxembourg and the bronze is awarded to Czech. Shamefully, the luck (and the drink) of the Irish falls a little short at the number four spot while the US ranks at 43rd.
