What the numbers say
In 2020, Mali's total alcohol consumption per capita, female (liters of pure alcohol, projected estimates, female 15+ years of age) rose 0.3 on 2019 (from 1.22 to 1.52).
Across the 19 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2019), the average change was +0.05 and a typical year strayed about 0.14 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.7 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.38 in 2009 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.08 in 2012. 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 7% 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.
