I can't get a ranked list for beer consumption alone, but Canadians drink beer containing 4.23 litres of ethanol per capita per annum. This is significantly below the UK, America, Colombia, South Africa, Belgium, Finland, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Germany, to name a few.

I knew that Canada's alcohol consumption wasn't that high, and I mostly looked it up to see if I was so incredibly wrong. So I suppose that's a bit of both.
