Alcohol consumption varies hugely around the world, but according to a World Health Organization report from 2018, the country that drinks the most is Moldova, in Eastern Europe.

The average Moldovan drinks 15.2 liters of pure alcohol per year, or a fraction over 4 gallons, but the country's alcohol consumption is very gendered.

According to the same report, the average Moldovan man drinks 25.2 liters of pure alcohol annually, compared to just 6.2 liters for women.

Wine is the most popular beverage, making up 56.6% of consumption, compared to 25.2% and 16.2% for spirits and beer, respectively.

However, calculating how much people drink across an entire country isn't easy, and various other lists do not have Moldova as the number one alcohol consumer in the world.
