What the numbers say
In 2020, Libya's total alcohol consumption per capita, female (liters of pure alcohol, projected estimates, female 15+ years of age) did not change 0 on 2019 (from 0.002 to 0.002).
Across the 19 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2019), the average change was +0 and a typical year strayed about 0.00153 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.0 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.004 in 2003 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.005 in 2006. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2011 to 2020 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
