Recent federal government data revealed Colorado to be the premier drink and drugs state in the US.

Estonia was found to be the top drinking country in the world, consuming 14.97 litres of pure alcohol per capita per year (for over 15 year olds).

The UK ranked 28th, consuming 9.65 litres per year.
