11 Worst Countries for Binge Drinking

5. Romania

Average – 14.4 liters

Legal age – 18

Binge drinking prevalence – 7.5% out of the entire population, 11.1% out of drinkers

For a country that makes so much wine, it’s a bit of a surprise that Romanians actually prefer beer over other types of beverages, but that’s probably due to the lower price than anything else. After all, 50% of all those asked by WHO have picked beer as their go-to drink, while 28.9% have chosen wine, and 21.1% went with stronger spirits.

A good portion of the accidents taking place on Romanian roads is caused by drunk driving while nearly 78% of liver cirrhosis cases in men are caused by alcohol consumption.
