These Countries Are Highest and Lowest Alcohol-Consumers in Sub-Saharan Africa
The government of Uganda has recently announced plans to raise the drinking age from 18 to 21 following concerns about the adverse effects of alcohol on the nation's health. The move begged the question of how widespread alcohol consumption is in Africa.
Sputnik Africa compiled the top 5 highest and lowest alcohol consumers in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The ranking is based on the
World Health Organization's latest report entitled "Monitoring Health for the SDGs and Sustainable Development", which provides figures for total alcohol consumption per capita.
The two least-consuming nations in sub-Saharan Africa are Mauritania and Somalia. According to the report, both countries do not consume liquor at all.
They are followed by Niger, whose total alcohol consumption per capita is 0.1 liter of pure alcohol.
Fourth place in the rating of teetotalers went to Sierra Leone. The score of the West African country is 0.3 liters per capita.
Rounding out the top five is Djibouti (0.4 liters per capita).
As for the top five alcohol consumers in sub-Saharan Africa,
Uganda is the leader in this area. Each resident of this country consumes an average 12.2 liters of alcohol.
The Seychelles came as close as possible to the East African country, but fell short by 0.2 liters, taking silver (12 liters).
Third place is occupied by Tanzania (10.4 liter of alcohol per capita).
The West African countries of Cameroon and Burkina Faso complete the top five with 10.1 and 9.8 liters of pure alcohol per capita, respectively.
However, on a global scale, according to the WHO, alcohol consumption on the African continent stands at an average of 4.5 liters per person, a figure that is lower the Americas, Europe, and the Western Pacific Region.
Only the South-East Asia Region (3.8) and the Eastern Mediterranean Region (0.3) drink less than Africa.
