Moonshining and consumption of waragi and other alcoholic beverages is widespread in Uganda. In the 2004 WHO "Global Status Report on Alcohol", Uganda ranked as the world's leading consumer of alcohol (per capita). Based on results from 2007, Uganda’s overall alcohol consumption was an average of 17.6 liters per capita. This is unusually high compared to surrounding countries. In 2016 this seems no longer the case, with total consumption of pure alcohol down to 9.5 litres per capita (≥ 15 years of age).
