Moldova is one of the few countries where the unrecorded consumption exceeds the recorded one, meaning that illicit alcohol is more popular than the government sanctioned types. When it comes to preferences, Moldavians prefer spirits, with 64.5% of people choosing them over other beverages. Then, over 30% chose beer and only a little over 5% picked out wine as their go-to drink.

Sadly, nearly half the road accidents taking place in the country can be linked to alcohol consumption.
