In Kyrgyzstan, 3.9 liters of alcohol are consumed per person per year

The World Population Review (WPR) has published data on alcohol consumption in different countries. According to this statistics, Kyrgyzstan stands out as one of the most sober countries in the region, with a consumption level of 3.9 liters of pure alcohol per capita per year.

The authors of the study note that Central Asia, in general, has a low level of alcohol consumption, which is linked to Islamic traditions. For example, in Kazakhstan, this figure is 5.4 liters, while in Uzbekistan it is only 2.1 liters.

The lowest levels of alcohol consumption are recorded in Tajikistan (0.7 liters) and Turkmenistan (0.3 liters), according to the report.

According to WPR, countries in Eastern and Central Europe lead in alcohol consumption. Romania ranks first with 17.1 liters, followed by Georgia (15.5 liters) and Latvia (14.7 liters). The top 5 also includes Moldova (14.1 liters) and the Czech Republic (13.7 liters).

The report also indicates that for some countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, data on alcohol consumption is absent. The minimum figures – 0.1 liters per year – are recorded in Egypt, Pakistan, Indonesia, as well as in Iran, Syria, and Kuwait.

World Population Review is an independent scientific publication and reference work established in 2013, focusing on demographic data and statistics.
