Head of NTAKD: Lithuania is no longer the country with the most alcohol consumption

“I can say that when it comes to the label of a drunken state, it should be boldly ripped off: it is definitely not the case in Lithuania at the moment. I cannot say this day officially because it has not been announced, but I can only say that one of our neighbors will probably have that sticker now, “R. Čiužas told LRT radio on Tuesday.

He considered that perhaps the data published in 2016 that Lithuania consumes the highest amount of alcohol in the world – 16.3 liters of pure alcohol per person – made me worry and think.

“What can I say that in the informal discussion with WHO experts on the indicator for 2019, Lithuania has made good progress?” They try to make Lithuania consume 12.7 l of pure alcohol, ”he said.

However, the head of NTAKD said that the country is still above the European average, so there is still room for improvement.
