11 Worst Countries for Binge Drinking

6. Ukraine

Average – 13.9 liters

Legal age – 18

Binge drinking prevalence – 22.6% out of the entire population, 33% out of drinkers

For many years now, the social and political climate in Ukraine hasn’t been exactly perfect, which has reverberated onto the population, pushing the alcohol consumption levels up.

When it comes to picking out their poison, Ukrainians choose spirits in heavy percentages, followed by beer. Wine is only preferred by 9% of the population. Binge drinking is something locals often engage in, with 22.6 percent of the population declaring they had, at least, an episode of heavy drinking in the past month, and 33% of the declared drinkers.

Sadly, nearly half of the road traffic accidents can be attributed to alcohol indulgence, both for male and female drivers.
