I would place bets that if you collected data for drinking capital for under 14s, us Poles would be number 1 🇵🇱🇵🇱😂
Probably better to do two charts and segregate teenage drinking, since it’s illegal in many countries (therefore unsure how reliable the data would be).
Would be cool to see drinking per-capita at 25+ for the worldÂ
[6 US states](https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/alcohol-consumption-by-state) would land among this top 10. Though New Hampshire is an outlier due to its taxes relative to nearby states, and Delaware might be as well due to Jill Biden’s drinking habit to handle the rambling stories on the beach vacations.
