Norwegen trinkt in Skandinavien am wenigsten Alkohol und in Europa fast am wenigsten. Die Karte stammt aus dem Jahr 2019, nur weil Reddit Karten liebt, und die neuen Zahlen für 2026 bestätigen Norwegens niedrigen Alkoholkonsum.

Ich weiß, dass es einige Kommentare zum Thema Rauschtrinken geben wird, aber leider ist Norwegen auch hier nicht einmal annähernd das Spitzenland. Wenn die Zahlen für 2026 vorliegen, gibt es vielleicht einen separaten Beitrag zu diesem Thema.

Well if you saw the prices you wouldn’t be surprised
And you actually believe russia being 7.2?
That Russian number seems sus.
We don’t drink… *often*, but when we do, *believe me* when I say that we drink to get absolutely HAMMERED.
I have lived in Spain, France and Sweden, and I can say that I have never really seen anyone drink or party like a Norwegian. They (foreigners) drink more often, but puking and drinking your brains out is more frowned upon (though Sweden is more similar to Norway than France/Spain).
EDIT: This is mostly if you’re under the age of 30.
Difference between us and say France or Spain.. They do wine every day. We do all the wine on friday and/or saturday.
“Sadly”?
Cheers 🥂
I think a major factor here is how different cultures view day to day alcohol consumption. Having a glass of wine with lunch or dinner on a regular weekday gets you a side eye in Norway, while in many other countries that is entirely normal. Having a daily glass of wine or two won’t get you really drunk, but over a year the quanity of alcohol adds up when you put it in a map like this.
Unbelievable
It’s just _all in one go_
This a bit more updated and interactive [map](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-alcohol-consumption-per-capita-litres-of-pure-alcohol?globe=1&globeRotation=55%2C10&globeZoom=2.95). The Russian numbers are a bit off in OPs post.
If we see the [same data over time](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/total-alcohol-consumption-per-capita-litres-of-pure-alcohol?tab=line&country=WB_ECA~NOR~RUS~DEU~ESP~GBR&globe=1&globeRotation=55%2C10&globeZoom=2.95) but drop the map, Norway has been below European average for many years.
They say that millennials generally are not drinking as much as previous generations so I’m not overly surprised the rates are heading down
Alcohol is prohibitive in Norway. In Spain you can buy wine bottles and beer cans for less than a euro, while here prices are like 16 Times higher! Of course that is going to affect consumption
Doesnt take moonshine and homemade beer and wine into account, ill bet.
How much of the consumed alcohol is brought from abroad? Does this chart take imports into account?
For example Finns are buying some 30 million litres from Estonia per year. Does that count here as Estonian or Finnish consumption?
I would love to see how they get this map. Presumably by purchased alcohol, not counting home made rakija and vodka
Edit: or wine of course
I’m not surprised about Finland and Denmark being higher, but Iceland and Sweden is a bit odd. I bet a good percentage of the Swedish number is actually Norwegians driving across the border to buy cheaper though, which skews the numbers from Norway to Sweden. Iceland doesn’t have that possibility. Also homebrewing is relatively common here (but it also is in Sweden and Finland so that doesn’t explain much).
Good !
Kosovo allegedly being muslim while topping the charts.
Might be because alcohol is peohibitably expensive here.
Average down significantly, because my PG told me to cut back😐
Man our politicians must be ecstatic
Is this based on what people in Norway actually _drink_ or just what is _sold_ through stores in Norway?
There is a difference…
Shame on you. 😂😂
You know how i know this map is utter bs? Bosnia being 5.4 lol with rakija literally being made at home that number doesn’t add up🤣
What is the unit
Not good enough Denmark, let’s reach 13, together we can do it, I’ll do my part.
As a dane I thought the difference would be MUCH higher!
The metric doesn’t account for people making wine, beer, cider, mead and more in their homes. It’s based solely on sales of alcohol.
Completely legal for personal consumption and very widespread.
And that’s before you factor illagal moonshine, which is also widespread.
High taxation leads to this inevitable outcome.
Sadly?
Because it’s to fkin expensive.
When they count. Do they include the booze we buy in Sweden?
