Lithuania no longer leads in alcohol consumption BNS Link copied aA Lithuania has made progress and, based on unofficial data from the World Health Organization, is no longer the No 1 country in the world in terms of alcohol consumption, Asociatyvi nuotr. Renaldas Ciuzas, director of the Drug, Tobacco and Alcohol Control Department, says. "I can say that speaking of the heavy-drinking country's tag, it should be removed because the situation is now different in Lithuania. I cannot say that officially today as it has not been published but I can just say that one of our neighbors will probably have that tag now," Ciuzas told the national radio LRT on Tuesday.
