INTERNATIONAL TRENDS IN ALCOHOL PRODUCTION, TRADE AND CONSUMPTION, AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO ALCOHOL-RELATED PROBLEMS, 1970-1977

The intent of this study was to produce updated statistics on worldwide trends in alcohol production, trade and consumption. Statistics were selected from existing data banks maintained by international government organizations and marketing boards, and supplemented by statistics published by individual countries, in order to select the most satisfactory statistical series in terms of data consistency and time period covered. The nature of the data used and some of the problems encountered will be described. In addition, global trends in total and per capita production, trade and consumption of alcohol, by alcohol type, as well as some differences in terms of geographic areas, economic systems and alcoholic beverage preferences will be described. Finally, the worldwide relationship between levels of alcohol consumption and deaths due to liver cirrhosis will be discussed, and there will be a description of how these results can be used as indicators of the level of alcohol-related problems in specific countries.
