10 Drunkest Countries in the World

2. Georgia

Alcohol Consumption per Capita: 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.

Wine is one of the top export commodities for Georgia, accounting for 21% of the country’s total agricultural export value in 2021.
