According to data collected in a study done by the Worldwide Health Organization (WHO) , worldwide, adults consume an average of 5 liters of pure alcohol per year from drinking beer, wine and spirits. The average alcohol consumption worldwide is highest in Europe and is closely followed by America.
One "beverage unit" (BU) of beer, wine or spirits is broken down in the liver per hour, which then in turn, lowers an individual's blood-alcohol concentration level.
People who suffer from emotional problems, such as anxiety or depression are reported to be at a particularly high risk for alcoholism, because alcohol may be used to self-medicate.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 65 percent of fatal drunk-driving deaths involve drivers whose blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is .15 or higher.
