  1. Liters of pure alcohol/person-year: Calculated by multiplying the annual beverage volume in liters by the ABV percentage of each beverage [beer, cider, wine-based mixtures (5.5 %), wine (11.5 %), aperitifs (15 %), and spirits (35 %)] and dividing by official mid-year population aged ≥15. AAPC2001–2011: Average annual percent change during 2001–2011 from joinpoint regression
  2. Tax Agency: “Other beverages” includes spirits and aperitifs (beverages 1.2–22 % ABV other than fermented ones, such as vermouth, sherry, or port). Beer, spirits, and aperitif estimates were calculated by dividing the receipts from excise duties on each beverage between the weighted average tax rate applicable, and wine estimate was obtained directly from purchases self-reported to the Spanish Food Consumption Panel
  3. Word Health Organization: Includes “recorded alcohol” figures from the Global Information System on Alcohol and Health. “Other beverages” includes spirits, aperitifs, and cider. 2011 data were imputed from the Spanish Tax Agency
  4. Food and Agriculture Organization: “Wine” includes wine and aperitifs. “Other beverages” includes spirits and cider
  5. Between-agency range was obtained as the difference between the highest and lowest agency estimate of alcohol availability
