Hungary has the highest rates of alcoholism in Europe

Hungary has the highest rates of alcoholism in Europe according to a new study by Private Rehab Clinic Delamere.

Using data from the World Population Review, the team crunched the numbers to reveal which European populations have the highest percentage of people suffering from alcohol dependency.

Taking first place on the list with nearly a quarter (21.2%) of the population revealed to have drinking issues was Hungary.

In 2014, it was revealed that Hungary had an alcohol consumption rate that was twice the amount of any other European country, while a 2020 Hungarian study highlighted that much of the alcoholism issue was due to elderly addicts, rather than the young.
