These data are included in the comparative reports about the level of alcohol consumption in the countries belonging to this organization, but do not show the last 2 years, as Russia changed its mind and withdrew the OECD in 2013.
Meanwhile, alcohol consumption in the developed countries has fallen by 2.5%. In Israel, South Korea, USA, Canada, Turkey and Indonesia people drink the least.
