It might sometimes feel like you are the only one in your neighborhood with empty bottles or beer cans on recycling day. If you live in Moldova or Belarus, however, that’s actually pretty unlikely.

Those two countries drink the most alcohol per capita worldwide, according to data collected by the Global Information System on Alcohol and Health. We analyzed the results, which aggregate both recorded and “unrecorded” alcohol consumption, such as moonshine or homebrewed beer, and plotted all into a political world map.

The countries that drink the most alcohol are, perhaps unsurprisingly, mostly colder-climate locations. Alcohol laws play a significant role in consumption, of course, as does religion.
