Total alcohol consumption per capita (liters of pure alcohol, projected estimates, 15+ years of age)

This indicator measures the average annual alcohol intake per individual aged 15 and older, expressed in liters of pure alcohol. It encompasses both legally reported and unrecorded alcohol consumption, providing a comprehensive overview of drinking patterns. Furthermore, the data is adjusted to account for fluctuations in tourist consumption, ensuring a more accurate reflection of local drinking habits. Understanding this metric is crucial for public health initiatives, as it offers insights into trends in alcohol use, potential social challenges arising from excessive consumption, and informs policy decisions aimed at reducing alcohol-related harm within populations.
