Alcohol sales for entire population (including the locals/muslims). divided by the number of people who are supposed to be allowed to drink alcohol?

I haven't the time to look into this one, but what was the methodology of the WHO survey? If they were including alcohol sales in hotels and restaurants how did anyone know who was a resident and who was a tourist?

I drink more here than I did at home I think.
Not by much, but a bit more for sure.

I always have an urge to remind any GP I'm seeing to ask how many units/week I drink. But it's not like that area is a major health risk in my life.
