Special Report
- Alcohol is consumed by large proportions of adults in most countries around the world. Though not causing signifi cant problems for most drinkers, alcohol use is associated with numerous negative consequences for the drinker and society at large. Globally alcohol causes 3.2% of all deaths or 1.8 million deaths annually and accounts for 4.0% of disease burden. Many of these deaths are the result of injuries caused by hazardous and harmful drinking. Of the total number of alcohol-attributable deaths, 32.0% are from unintentional injuries, and 13.7% are from intentional injuries. This means that about half of the deaths attributable to alcohol are from injuries.

This list only uses average wine to present the countries with the highest adult per capita wine consumption. If the fermented beverages were included, countries such as Uganda, Nigeria, Burundi, Sierra Leone, Rwanda and Sao Tome and Principe would appear to be among the top 'wine' drinking countries.
