See privacy policy.The way we see it, there are three types of people in this world:People that plan a vacation to sightsee/do outdoors-y thingsPeople that plan a vacation to do nothing but sit on the beach and relaxPeople that plan a vacation to eat and drink their weight in food and alcoholWell, if you’re of the later, we have some suggestions for your next trip. VinePair just released a color-coded map based on 15 years (!) of data from the Global Information System on Alcohol and Health of the countries that drink — and don’t drink — the most per capita. The study tracked recorded (such as beer) and unrecorded (looking at you, moonshine) alcohol consumption over the last decade and a half. And without further ado, here are the countries that drink the most alcohol per capita:Moldova (17.4 liters per capita)Belarus (17.1)Lithuania (16.2)Russia (14.5)Czech Republic (14.1)Romania (12.9)Serbia (12.9)Australia (12.6)Portugal (12.5)Slovakia (12.5)Image courtesy of VinePair.On the flip side, if you’re looking to keep things a little, well, more sober, you’ll want to head to these countries:Egypt (0.3 liters per capita)Niger (0.3)Bangladesh (0.2)Comoros (0.2)Saudi Arabia (0.2)Yemen (0.2)Kuwait (0.1)Mauritania (0.1)Pakistan (0.1)Libya (0)The key takeaway here? If you are heading to one of the top 10, it’s probably a good idea to bring a jacket since they’re mostly in cold weather climates.
