The table displays the number of deaths attributed to alcoholism in 2005, along with figures for both males and females, as well as the average number of liters of beer consumed per person.
The Czech Republic has the highest indicators in both categories mentioned: over 1. 3 million deaths related to alcohol abuse, with approximately 70% attributed to males, and 132 liters of beer consumed per person. Germany follows closely with approximately 1. 2 million alcohol-related deaths (83% related to men) and 107 liters of beer drank per capita. The next is Austria, with 913, 000 deaths in total, of which only 14% are women’s deaths, and the amount of liters consumed is roughly equal to that of Germany’s. While the total number of deaths in Ireland(582, 000) and Canada(580, 000) differs only slightly, there are notable differences in gender distribution and beer consumption. In detail, the number of female deaths in Canada is half as much as in Ireland. Furthermore, Estonia exhibits a stark gender imbalance in alcohol-related deaths, with a significant majority occurring among males. On the other hand, although Lithuania has fewer overall deaths compared to Estonia, the ratio of male to female deaths is considerably higher, with 112, 000 male deaths compared to 13, 000 female deaths.
In conclusion, the Czech Republic emerges as the country with the highest indicators, followed closely by Germany and Austria. Men appear to be disproportionately affected by alcoholism compared to women.
