First place for beer consumption per capita is... yep. the Czech Republic. Wait did you just say Czech Republic??? Yes I did. That little region wedged into Germany's armpit? Yep.. They consumed 156.9 Liters a beer a year per capita (to put that into perspective US consumed 81.6 L). I am now thinking that if the Czech Republic spent as much effort on science as they spend on beer, they'd have invented teleportation by now. Wouldn't that be awesome!? I could live in the mountains of Alaska and pop over to Bengaluru for a quick bowl of aloo gobi and then go catch the opera in Sydney). Damn you Czech-Republicans!
Next up are the Irish... man those Catholics can drink...
Germany... again not too surprising.
Australia, wow way to go Aussies. Wasn't expecting that..

Yikes, I knew we were all hopeless beer-guzling boozehounds but not to that extent! I put it down to the use of beer as barbecue cleaner... that and a nation addicted to awful tasting lager (I'd rather lick a cement wall than sip a VB!)
