I couldn't find alcohol quantity consumption statistics for teenagers. Got any links for your data?

I found data on self-reported frequency of alcohol consumtion for teenagers and the results mostly sustain my opinion.

For example, "every week" reported consumption: Netherlands (58.9%, top of the list), Greece (39.8%), Czechia (23.5%), Croatia (21.9%), Bulgaria (20%), Poland (11.7%), Slovakia (10.3%), Estonia (10%), Romania (8.4%), Latvia (4.4%), Lithuania (3%), which proves my point...

But then, "not in the last year" reported consumption: Lithuania (51.7% top of the list), Romania (49.1%, second, but I highly doubt this data, I live here and I know better), Bulgaria (46.1%, third place), Slovakia and Croatia (35.2%), Latvia (33.8%), Poland (30.6%), Czechia (20.2%), Estonia (19.6%), Slovenia (18.1%), which is mixed and doesn't prove anything. It is my impression that "not in the last year" category includes most of the liars and is not to be trusted.
