Norwegians drank more in 1995
Consumption of alcohol in Norway rose 3.6 per cent per person over 14
years of age from 1994 to 1995. This is the second year in a row that
consumption of alcohol has risen. The increase is mainly attributed to higher
consumption of wine and medium-strength beer. Despite the increase in 1994 and
1995, Norwegians still drink less alcohol than they did at the end of the
1980s.
Measured in litres of alcohol, Norwegians drank 4.3 per cent more alcohol
in 1995 than in 1994. Each resident aged 15 and up drank an average of 4.91
litres of pure alcohol, adding up to a total of 17.2 million litres.
