The country with the second highest percentage of the population of adult males who are heavy drinkers is Georgia (Eastern European country) with 50.1%, third is Uganda with 30.1%, the United Kingdom is in the fourth position with 39.0%.

Looking at the same statistics for the heavy women drinkers, the country with the highest percent of the female adult population who are heavy drinkers is the United Kingdom with 42% (more than the men in the UK according to these WHO statistics). The women in the US are at the 22nd position in this statistic with 5%. The top five countries with women heavy drinkers are: UK (42%), Nigeria (36.1%), Columbia (21%), Uganda (20.3%), and Brazil (18.2%).
