OECD Data[edit]
2013 OECD statistics[edit]
The table below lists OECD countries by the annual consumption of pure alcohol in liters, per person, aged 15 years old and over, as published in the 2013 OECD Health Data. Note that the methodology to convert alcoholic drinks to pure alcohol may differ across countries. Typically beer is weighted as 4–5%, wine as 11–16% and spirits as 40% of pure alcohol equivalent.
This table is an accurate reflection of the annual consumption of pure alcohol in litres by OECD countries.
