Beer

November 23rd, 2006

I read in the paper today that the average German drinks 118 litres of beer every year. This means the average German drinks about 2,2 litres of beer per week. That’s a lot of beer, and it made me realise that a couple of my friends could have comfortably classified as “above average Germans” while we were still at university.

The champion beer drinkers are the Czechs, with an average of 156.9 litres per year, that’s almost a pint a day! The average South African only drinks 59.2 litres of beer a year, strange considering that we’re sweating our asses off most of the time?
