Belarus was ranked ninth, between Russia and Greece, finmarket.ru reports.
Authors analysed how citizens of 75 countries are prone to immorality and ranked the countries on propensity for vice.
Four variables – total adult per capita alcohol consumption, total adult per capita cigarette consumption, annual prevalence of drug use (a percentage of the population ages 15-64) and total gambling losses as a percentage of GDP – were taken for the analysis.
The country received 25 points for the maximum value of each variable. If the value of the variable was minimum, the country received zero points. Points for each variable were summed for a final score. A higher score indicates a higher propensity for vice.
