For people surprised by the UK, here is the 2018 report: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789241565639
It says that the recorder alcohol consumption by percentage was 35.7% wine and 35.0% beer, so a close one.
How is Russia not spirits? Did they stop drinking Vodka or something?
No, they mix vodka with beer. The beer has a higher proportion of course.
Does the UK drink wine at the pubs or something? I don’t live there, but from all the UK media I consume, beer is almost always the drink.
I’m genuinely shocked that people drink more wine than beer in Denmark. Considering Tuborg and Carlsberg both come from there, and the amount of beer I see people drink publicly, it seems genuinely doubtful to me.
Ok so it’s by pure alcohol and wine is typically about twice the alcohol than beer so I would guess by just amount beer is still a bit more.
