And Sweden is is even further down... but then we're in the booze belt (southern europe/mediterranean -> wine, northern europe -> booze, and then the beer inbetween)

Had another quick google for total alcohol consumption and found a good site at WHO, but the presentation is by country alphabetically. A quick scan gives the following list (apprx average of 1998-2000, liters pure etanol consumed per capita and year)
France - 20
Luxembourg - 19
Portugal - 18.5
Moldavia - 18
Ireland - 16
Czech Republic - 15.3
Bahamas - 14.8
...
and some other countries
UK - 9.7
US - 8.7
Sweden - 7

(I might have missed some high consuming country in the list and/or missed a bit in some calculation, but it should be fairly accurate...)

And as they say - it's not the whole truth. Smuggling/private import and moonshining could add significantly to some countries.
