Levels of recorded alcohol consumption vary considerably across Europe2. Data from 2003, the most recent comparable year, show that the amount of recorded alcohol consumption ranges from 0.4 litres (Tajikistan) to 18.0 litres (Luxembourg) per adult per year. There is a wide regional spread of countries with an above average level of alcohol consumption, including Northern (Estonia), Western (Ireland and Germany), Southern (France and Spain), Central (Czech Republic and Hungary) and Eastern (Republic of Moldova) countries.

 

Levels of alcohol consumption are falling in many Northern, Southern and Western European countries but rising in a few. For example alcohol consumption in Portugal, France and Germany fell by 24%, 18% and 12% respectively between 1994 and 2003, but rose by 21% in Ireland. In Central and Eastern European countries alcohol consumption generally fell rapidly in the mid-to-late 1980s but has risen markedly again since then. Between 1994 and 2003 alcohol consumption in Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania and the Russian Federation rose by 16%, 94% and 21% respectively.
