That list doesn't account for the type of alcohol. A liter of whiskey would do more than a liter of beer. Point: Australia could be drunker if they drink relatively more hard alcohol than those higher on the list, giving mahmud the win.

I'm pretty sure they count only the quantity of ethanol consumed.

Yes. It lists 12l of alcohol for Germany where the average person drinks more than a hundred liters of beer.
