How big a problem is alcohol abuse in Africa? | DW News


a recent report from the World Health Organisation found that most Africans don’t drink alcohol at all – and never have done.
More than 70% of Africans have never drunk alcohol or are former drinkers. How does that compare with the mainly Muslim Eastern Med? Abstention there is above 95%. And in Europe? It is almost the opposite to Africa -…

Does that mean that South Sudan and Western Sahara do not imbibe alcohol?

@sanelemwelase

South Africans drink, young and old, male and female, it brakes my heart seeing young men drinking every day or weekend instead of being productive. Drinking is such a trendy and vibey thing that if you don't, you are perceived as boring and too serious.

@Francismuchai484

Especially kenyans

@asktele3143

Am still looking for a shop in yellow?๐Ÿ˜‚

I donโ€™t drink alcohol but looking at those women from ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ would cause me to drink for sure if I lived there. ๐Ÿ˜ข

@nkongefrancis2653

The United kingdom and Germany consumes twice the alcohol the whole of African continent consumes

@sadimasson8734

Alcohol is CHEAP in South Africa

@BDrevolution2.0

Accept Islaaam, Boycott Alcohol โค

@sergiojimenez3445

I thank God because I am so pinchpenny for being alcoholic.

@funguamacho

4 months 2 days sober. Only God knows how he got me out of that death trap and I will forever be great full and will keep praying for those who are still suffering. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฟ

@eduardonoriega8667

Ban alcohol and legalize cannabis

@DavTec1

๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น Austria and Germany ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช are the best at it… then follows the rest of the neighboring countries like Switzerland ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ญ …. They brew their wines ๐Ÿท at home and taste them all day long 24/7. You grow up with alcohol, we don't drink water to quench our thirsts, we drink wine /beer instead…. it's very normal!! I'm in Vienna Austria ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡น.

@serious1756

Africans drink anything that is fluid, way of survival for most.
Some even drink cow piss, now that's epic!

So don't blame the brothers in the video, they just surviving.

@brightonpius5193

Tanzanians.. Ugandans.. South Africans.. They drink more than too much.. They say God will Give u a new Liver in Heaven!!

@oneunique3

Alcohol ๐Ÿ˜ข is bad..

@DW Do better. 70% of the continent's population currently don't drink. Africa is a continent. Don't go to a village and then paint a picture and tag it to an entire CONTINENT! You help NOONE! ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜– Do Better!!

@walter3433

This is reedeecueloose

@gw33b

funny how no one drinks in the middle east but they are all killing each other

@limonmahmud275

West are more interested to show African faults rather than the way to capture the opportunities once west exploited for centuries.

@robmckay5700

Africa only drinks as much as Europe
Whatโ€™s the problem?

@MosesMatsepane

Africa has the lowest consumption of alcohol per capita when compared to Europe and North America. I am not sure why this video exists. That would be the equivalent of me making a video about Poverty in Germany, yes it exists, but it's the least of their worries.

@NimbuSs-vn7mo

Alcoholism was influenced by colonists
Taverns, ale Houses,brew houses all brought forward by colonists

@InvisibleGunner

Don't generalize us. Africa is not a country

@luckysmart5909

if you want to see alcohol abuse come to the eastern europe and the Scandinavia countries. Stop painting africa.

@luckysmart5909

alcohol is more abused in europe than in africa but the difference between the two continents is the availability of jobs in one continent and the opposite of job availability in the other continent.

@RichardsWorld

One Africa. No borders.

@100bulletsmiranda9

dude im holding a 14th century x box i won at the planet were on.

I alwaus knew it.Czech Republic is just another country in Africa…๐Ÿ˜‚

@stevenhickey326

Bottoms up !!

@stevenhickey326

Probably not any more than anywhere else.
I haven't traveled the entire world by any means , but EVERY country / continent I've visited had an alcohol culture….EACH one.

@alexhope212009

Just can't believe they got all this data in a reliable way, makes it hard to listen to the made up stats.

@Co11io

lmfao because all of africa is the same. Northern Africa has mostly alcohol prohibted. And the rest of africa treats alcohol like an appetizer (compare to Italy). Absolutely crazy title. We don't talk about ALCOHOL ABUSE IN EUROPE dont we? top notch report that lost credibility within the first second.

@H3321KG

Bottoms up

@atronadhashi4550

Alcohol is haram. It is haram for a reason

Iโ€™m among those Africans that have never drank alcohol.

@enmn6001

Stop lying about Africans

Martial stress is bad

As a South African, I can confirm that our drinking is out of control. Drank at a pool party this past Saturday and I'll be drinking again this Saturday at my friend's birthday ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ญ
