Alcohol use stands as a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, especially among working-age adults. OECD data for 2023 highlights wide differences in consumption: Latvia and Portugal record the highest levels at over 11.5 litres of pure alcohol per person, while Türkiye, Israel, Costa Rica, and Colombia remain below 5 litres. Despite declines in average consumption across most countries since 2013, harmful drinking continues to pose risks. Around one in four adults reports heavy episodic drinking at least monthly, underscoring persistent concerns within specific population groups.
