    Wow Turkey Türkiye surely has the worst drinking, only 1.2L/person per annum, we call that “Saturday evening” here in Germany, especially during Carnival /s

    Edit: this is meant as a joke, of course

      I was pretty freaked out when I walked through Friedrichshafen on a holiday trip and people sat there on the shore of Bodensee and drank beer at like 8am.

      The L/annum means “pure” alcohol. Nobody is drinking 1,2L of pure alcohol an evening. That’s the equivalent of 3L 40% Schnaps, or 12L 5% beer.

      That technicality aside, alcohol is incredibly expensive in Türkiye. It’s basically west European prices by now (for beer), and even more expensive than western Europe for everything else. Also the numbers are probably higher than the 1,2L because a lot of people started making their own alcohol - because of the cost of buying it from the markets.
