Overall Alcohol Consumption per Capita: 0.04 liters

Mauritania banned alcohol in the 1980’s, keeping in line with its Islamic legal code. Since then, some contraband has started flowing over the borders from neighboring Senegal, but the supply isn’t reliable. It is also punishable by law to bring alcohol into the country and try to treat the locals, but once a year, embassies in Mauritania are allowed to ship in a cargo container full of alcohol. Mauritania is one of the very few non drinking countries in Africa. 

98% of Mauritanian citizens have never consumed alcohol in their life.
