Data for 2010 showing share of over-fifteen-year-old population that did not consume alcohol in the preceding year (interactive version).

Teetotalism is the practice of voluntarily abstaining from the consumption of alcohol, specifically in alcoholic drinks. A person who practices (and possibly advocates) teetotalism is called a teetotaler (US) or teetotaller (UK), or said to be teetotal. Globally, in 2016, 57% of adults did not drink alcohol in the past 12 months, and 44.5% had never consumed alcohol.[1] A number of temperance organisations have been founded in order to promote teetotalism and provide spaces for nondrinkers to socialise.[2]
