As for how many drinks per week we go through, Ireland ranks quite low with 21 on average. Drinkers in Mali apparently have 39 per week followed by Zimbabwe (37), South Africa (37), Egypt (35), Nigeria (34) and Russia (28).
The world’s top binge-drinking country turned out to be the Cook Islands. Tunisia came in second followed by Ireland, Russia and the USA.
While Ireland didn't top all of the lists, as some may have assumed, these are still worrying statistics and show that binge-drinking is a very serious problem across the globe.
