NZers drink 8.8 litres per person aged over 15 years.
The state with the highest consumption in 2016 was New Hampshire, with a total alcohol consumed per capita: 4.76 gallons (18 litres).
Wow.
Comes from the following writeup for NZers:
From the domestic figures released by Statistics New Zealand, in the year 2017 [7]:
476 million litres of alcoholic drinks were available for domestic consumption:
289 million litres of beer
111 million litres of wine
77 million litres of spirits and spirit-based drinks
By volume, we drink almost three-times as much beer than wine. However, by alcohol content or standard drinks, 12.6 million litres of pure alcohol comes from beer, 11.5 million litres from wine, and 10 million litres from spirits. This totals 34.2 million litres of pure alcohol per year, or 8.8 litres per person aged over 15 years. On average, this means that every New Zealander drinks almost 2 standard drinks per day. However, in reality, we know that rather than New Zealanders drinking small amounts daily, around half of all alcohol in New Zealand is consumed in heavy drinking sessions.
