For people surprised by the UK, here is the 2018 report: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789241565639

It says that the recorder alcohol consumption by percentage was 35.7% wine and 35.0% beer, so a close one.

Yes, beer with up to 3.5 % you can buy in a supermarket. Beer above 3.5 % is called strong beer (starköl) which you can only buy at Systembolaget, the governmental alcohol store. Considering a large part of the beer is light beer (lättöl) or folks beer (folköl) below 3.5 %, the amount of beer to cover the 36 % pure alcohol is even higher.
