Correction: "How much do we drink?"

I've had very little time to check the comments and just noticed today a reader saying I sorted my table on alcohol consumption on the wrong column. Here's that table again, but sorted properly by total alcohol consumption per capita. I also moved the U.S. average to the bottom: Alcohol consu
