OECD data and python matplotlib code is here. If you remix it or copy it for a different country let me know?

Any particular reason you didn’t make the vertical axis start at zero?
I understand gen Z isn’t drinking at all. I would like to see this chart extended to 2025.
interesting. i see all the time on here that alcohol isn’t as popular with Gen-Z as much as previous generations, but seems like alcohol is still being consumed somewhere
9.5L?
As a European I thought this was per week.
I’m not sure what story you are trying to show. Back up the time series to 1945, adjust your y axis, and things look very different. Why did consumption start to rise in 1962 and then peak in 1980 (hint: who was turning 18 during that period)? What cohort started turning 21 in 1998? What percentage of the population is in their 20s during each year – are they the heavy drinkers? So many more interesting ways to explore this.
Also, you might mention that this is ethanol consumption, so it accounts for differing drink strengths.
Great Recession? You mean the Bank Recession!
But this ends at 2020. It would be interesting to see the latest data.
Data is beautiful but can be presented in a misleading way. For instance by not starting the Y-axis at 0
