Global Alcohol Consumption Overview
Alcohol consumption varies by country and gender:
- The average American drinks about 2.5 gallons ( 9.5 liters) of alcohol per year.
- Nigeria : Approximately 3.4 gallons ( 13 liters)
- Belarus : 4.6 gallons ( 17.5 liters), ranking first in the world.
However, these figures can be misleading because they are calculated on a "per capita" basis and do not reflect the actual distribution of alcohol consumption.

The truth about the distribution of alcohol consumption in the United States
- about 30% of Americans don't drink alcohol at all
- Other 30% drink less than one drink per week
- but 10% of people drink more than 10 drinks a day , accounting for the majority of their alcohol consumption.
Therefore, the average masks extreme differences: a minority drink a lot, while the majority drink very little.
Alcohol and Health: Metabolic Stress on the Liver
Alcohol is broken down into various chemicals in the liver, some of which are more toxic than alcohol itself. Long-term alcohol consumption can lead to:
- Antioxidants and Vitamin Loss
- Free radical damage and liver cell destruction
- Fatty liver and liver fibrosis
- This creates a vicious cycle: malnutrition → increased craving for alcohol
