As with anything I feel like it's a bit silly to pit the US as a whole against individual European countries. States are a much more logical comparison from the standpoint of physical size, population, and cultural regionalism.

It's no surprise to me that the US as a whole is nowhere near the top. We have multiple states that are nearly entirely dry.

Check those numbers against drinking states like Wisconsin and I think the comparisons are much closer.
