Top 5 Alcohol Drinking Countries in the World

4. Latvia

Per Capita Consumption of Alcohol: 13.09 liters

Latvia has one of the highest levels of alcohol consumption by any country in 2023. Alcohol started to become a problem in the Baltic country in the 15th and 16th centuries when breweries and distilleries began to pop up all over the country. In November 2022, Latvia tightened rules on drunk driving to make it a criminal offense, rather than punishing drunk drivers by just taking away their driving licenses.
