    The L/annum means “pure” alcohol. Nobody is drinking 1,2L of pure alcohol an evening. That’s the equivalent of 3L 40% Schnaps, or 12L 24L 5% beer.

    That technicality aside, alcohol is incredibly expensive in Türkiye. It’s basically west European prices by now (for beer), and even more expensive than western Europe for everything else. Also the numbers are probably higher than the 1,2L because a lot of people started making their own alcohol - because of the cost of buying it from the markets.
