Crime and safety are important factors that can impact social, economic, and political stability. This category includes metrics such as homicide rate, robbery rate, incarceration rate, and police-to-citizen ratio. During the year when most people were expected to stay home worldwide because of the Covid-19 quarantines, alcohol use still declined. Beer consumption dropped by more than 5 percent, wine sales declined by more than 2 percent, and spirit sales decreased by almost one percent.<\/p>\n
