Top 22 Countries To Open A Bar [Infographic]

Tweet

According to a recent report released by the World Health Organization (WHO), Europe is the booziest area on the planet, as can been seen by the following chart:

Alcohol Consumption By Country

According to the data, there are 22 countries that consume, on average, 12.5 litres and over per person. So if you are looking to open a bar, these saucy countries might be a good place to start.

You might be saying to yourself, “But wait, what kind of bar should you open? Should it be a wine bar, a martini bar or a pub?” Well I’m glad you asked.

We’ve taken the research a bit further to find out, by country, what these booze hounds really like to drink. No need to thank us, just buy us a beer, or four, at the bar sometime.
