Cameroon

In fourth place is Cameroon, where illicit alcohol makes up 56% of all alcohol produced. One of the most popular illicit drink is odontol, which killed at least 27 people in November 2016.  Known as the poor man’s drink, it is one of the distilled drinks that make up the 90% of all illicit alcohol in the country.

According to the Iard report, such alcohol costs Cameroon $112 million.
