Per capita consumption of alcohol in Finland 1960-2023

In 2023, per capita consumption of alcohol in Finland was 7.4 liters per capita, measured in liters of pure alcohol. Compared to 2020, alcohol consumption declined by 0.4 liters per person. Alcohol consumption peaked in 2005 but dropped again below ten liters in 2012 and has steadily decreased since then. In 1970, per capita consumption of alcohol in Finland was measured at 4.8 liters. Changing drinking habitsFinnish alcohol consumption reached its record levels by 2005 but has decreased by roughly a fifth since then. While total alcohol consumption has seen a steady declining trend, drinking habits among Finns remain polarized. Compared to other European countries, Finnish people still drink large quantities of alcohol in one go, although binge drinking has somewhat decreased. In general, interest in milder alcoholic beverages is increasing and young people are drinking less than previous generations. While strong alcoholic beverage consumption has decreased over the past decades, wine consumption has increased. Even so, beer is still the most popular alcoholic beverage among Finns. It accounted for nearly half of the total consumption of different alcoholic beverages in 2023. AlkoIn all the Nordic countries, except for Denmark, sales of alcoholic beverages are strictly controlled by the state retailing monopolies. Alko is the only chain of stores in Finland selling beer containing over 5.5 percent alcohol by volume, wine, and spirits. The company is fully owned by the Finnish government and controlled by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. Alko was founded in 1932 and ever since, the company has retained its alcohol sales monopoly based social and health policy objectives. In 2023, Alko generated roughly 1.2 billion euros in revenue. That year, the company operated 370 stores and 118 pick-up points across the country.

饮酒习惯的改变
芬兰的酒精消费量在2005年达到历史最高水平，但自那时以来已下降了约五分之一。尽管总体酒精消费量呈现出持续下降的趋势，芬兰人的饮酒习惯仍然两极分化。与其他欧洲国家相比，芬兰人一次性饮用的酒精量仍然很大，尽管暴饮行为有所减少。总体而言，对较温和的酒精饮料的兴趣正在增加，年轻人饮酒量也低于前辈。尽管过去几十年中烈性酒精饮料的消费量有所下降，但葡萄酒的消费量有所上升。即便如此，啤酒仍然是芬兰最受欢迎的酒精饮料，其在2023年占不同酒精饮料总消费量的一半左右。
Alko
