Estonia ranks 13th among other OECD countries in terms of alcohol consumption. The report used data from 2017, at which time Estonians consumed an average of 10.3 liters of absolute alcohol per year each. In 2007 Estonians were estimated to drink 14.8 liters each per year.
The only other country to see a drop of more than three liters was in Denmark.
