What Does Cuba Drink? 🇨🇺
What does Cuba drink? Beer, wine and spirits year by year, 1961-2026.
1970: beer 0.9 L, wine 0.2 L, spirits 0.9 L
2000: beer 1.3 L, wine 0.0 L, spirits 2.5 L
2026: beer 1.8 L, wine 0.1 L, spirits 2.0 L
What the number means: 1 litre of pure alcohol = about 40 bottles of beer (0.5 L, 5%), or 11 bottles of wine (12%), or 3 bottles of vodka (40%).
What a country drinks is tradition: beer in Central Europe, wine around the Mediterranean, spirits in Eastern Europe and Asia.
Beer, wine and spirits = the RECORDED sales of each drink, counted as litres of pure alcohol per adult (15+). Home-made and smuggled drinks are not included, so the real total is often higher.
Terms used:
- pure alcohol: the alcohol inside a drink (a 0.5 L beer at 5% holds 25 ml of pure alcohol)
- recorded sales: alcohol sold through shops and bars and counted by the government (not home-made or smuggled)
- estimate: a calculated value, not a measurement (here the recent trend continued to 2026)
Data: World Health Organization (WHO), Global Information System on Alcohol and Health - recorded alcohol per capita (15+) by type of drink, 1961-2024; 2025-2026: the 2014-2024 trend continued (estimate). Lines: 3-year average.
