Top 5 Alcohol Drinking Countries in the World

2. Georgia

Per Capita Consumption of Alcohol: 14.33 liters

The wine-drinking culture sets Georgia apart from other post-Soviet countries, where people prefer to drink spirits. Wine is associated with cultural and religious traditions in the Caucasian country, while beer is secondary and holds no ritualistic connotations. In fact, Georgians only toast with wine or vodka, and beer is used to toast only if you wish someone bad luck.

Georgia is home to more than 500 grape varieties and over 280,000 tons of grapes were processed in the country in 2020, quite a large production volume for a country with a small domestic consumption base. The former Soviet republic is one of the Top Alcohol Drinking Countries in the World.
