"When abstainers are excluded the national averages look extremely
different," reads THIS new article in
The Economist. "By this measure, it is in Africa, Asia and even the Middle
East where actual drinkers quaff the most. In Chad almost nine in ten
adults abstain, yet its 780,000 drinkers put away almost 34 litres of
alcohol each. On the usual ranking, it would come 115th out of 190
countries. France drinks a lot, but because it has one of the lowest
rate of abstainers at just 5%, it ranks 113th compared with 20th."
