5 Countries with the Highest Percentage of Non-Drinkers

3. Yemen

Percentage of Non-Drinkers: 99%

Yemen has banned alcohol to the extent that its citizens cannot purchase or drink alcohol at all. The two largest cities, Aden and Sana’a, have some large hotels and nightclubs in which alcohol can be sold to visiting foreigners. Foreign citizens entering Yemen are allowed to import up to two liters of alcoholic beverages and consume these in private. 

The strict ban has led to a flourishing bootlegging industry and the rise of homemade liquor, which can often prove dangerous and even deadly for its consumers.
