- Hanny26, on 10/10/2008, -1/+16Should be done per capita... Ireland/Germany/US would all probably be really high.
- revjustin2, on 10/10/2008, -0/+15The US: Columbia for saaaale! Columbia for saaaale! Who wants a nice hot Columbia for saaale?! Getcher hot South American countires here, folks!
Brazil: Hey, buddy! Over here! We'll take one!
The US: That'll be 1 gazillion dollars, please.
Brazil: Cool. Can I get that a Coke with that?
The US: That'll be 2 gazillion, then.
Brazil: What? 1 gazillion dollars for a Coke?
The US: Oh. I thought you said "the coke". - EasyMCcheesy, on 10/10/2008, -1/+15If things dont turn around for America, we're gonna have to start drinking a lot more....
- OrangeTide, on 10/10/2008, -0/+12Due to tainted Chinese milk?
Or were you thinking of your liver? - sp1r1t, on 10/10/2008, -0/+12Now I want a beer.
- mibi, on 10/10/2008, -2/+14a ton?
try 30 teragrams! - HamSandwich, on 10/10/2008, -0/+11You don't drink beer and are 21. Such a waste of a 21 year old....
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -4/+14America - baseball, over-consumption, debt, war and drinking a ***** ton of beer.
FTW? - davidwasman, on 10/10/2008, -0/+10I'm Irish and I resemble that remark.
- DamnMan, on 10/10/2008, -0/+10Top 5 per capita is Czech, Ireland, Germany, Australia and Austria with America a distant 13th.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_ ... - inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+10Its almost beer30!
- Hetman, on 10/10/2008, -0/+10That is just beer too. Can you imagine if you add liquor and wine into the equation.
- kent1146, on 10/10/2008, -0/+9I feel for the needs of our international friends in need.
But I speak from the bottom of my heart when I say, ***** Columbia. Give me my beer. - OrangeTide, on 10/10/2008, -0/+9There are bigger wastes of time and money. Like reading or hiking or driving or having sex.
- pimpofpixels, on 10/10/2008, -0/+9THE BAILOUT COST US 400 MILLION BARRELS OF BEER!
- somedudemanguy, on 10/10/2008, -0/+8To the moon twenty times?
Now that's just impressive. - pimpofpixels, on 10/10/2008, -0/+8Money can't buy love, but it can buy beer.... which is better than love.
- kent1146, on 10/10/2008, -0/+8Tsing Tao beer is what they drink the most of.
Most of the beer in China tastes like a light, crisp, bitter German pilsner (REALLY good with greasy Chinese food). That's because the Germans started the first breweries in China, and then were later kicked out by the Japanese and then later the Chinese communists. - GeeksSpeakFont, on 10/10/2008, -0/+7apparently austin, tx is the hardest drinking city in the country... they say everything's bigger in texas!
- OrangeTide, on 10/10/2008, -3/+10The stuff most of us Americans drink can hardly be called beer. :)
- HamSandwich, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6Does your flame-proof suit protect you from false statements? Bud Light contains 4.2% ABV which is as much, if not slightly more alcohol than Guinness.
If you meant something like "Budweiser tastes like piss"... then I've got no beef with ya. - badenglishihave, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5But... I love beer...
- latrosicarius, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5Yeah, you better catch up...
nly China already is has one - Scott83k, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5No.... Thats What She Said....
- maus56, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5I'm sipping an IPA as I type this...wait, it's empty. I must run to the fridge and get another one...
- davidrools, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5And people who don't drink beer can use it as currency in exchange for other goods and services. Why try to fix a broken economy when you can make a new beerconomy!
- Aadain, on 10/10/2008, -3/+7USA! USA! USA!
/sorry, just had to :) - pimpofpixels, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4My god... that would probably work.
Talk about mobilizing the base.
Maybe that's what Obama's half our special will be about.
"Imagine it... Beer. Free beer for everyone.
For you, for your neighbors.
Free Beer"
For a half hour. Who could find it in themselves to resist such logic? - DamnMan, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4While there is what they call "grocery store beer" in a lot of states that regulate stores selling food are not allowed to sell beverages above 3.2 ABV. These versions are usually slightly evaporated versions of the "real" products available in liquor stores.
Coors beer for example often sited as one of those "Weak-as-water" beers is actually 5.0% ABV. While Victoria Bitters, a comparable Australian domestic mass produced beer had an ABV of 4.9 until it was lowered to about 4.8. Slightly WEAKER (but better tasting) than Americas "weak-as-water" stuff.
Also worth noting is the worlds strongest beer(24% ABV) is brewed in Amemerica by Boston Beer Co. - Hetman, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4The alcohol content is still the same as long as it is not a light beer. But I agree with you I do prefer beer that has a better taste than Bud MGD etc. Anyways America has a lot of great microbrewers that have been opening around the states. Our beer is getting better.
- HamSandwich, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4Hey, get me one while you're up!
- camiller, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4...but the growth in micros over the past few years means there is hope.
- AZSanMan, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4Ok, I may be giving up my identity to some, but I am proud to own 2 Kegerators AND keep them stocked. I was primed to cope with the Financial crises before it was cool.
- xxgigavirusxx, on 10/10/2008, -2/+6I think my kidneys just failed
- vsujohn2, on 10/10/2008, -1/+4Cool article, but the last part was a real downer. I'll just have to drink more now to forget about the millions of people who could be using the grain for food.
- zacumen, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3The America McCain would administer would force me to develop a nasty drinking habit. Lord knows Bush has made me a lush.
- bca102, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Czech Republic kills all others.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_ ... - rtcrooks, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3mmmm....Beer.
- SocialPoison, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3If you could read, you would have noted that they did.
- krystofr, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Buried for not giving me a buzz - Unburied for not giving me a hangover
- Canadaa, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2maybe if you lowered your drinking age from 21 you might have a better chance of passing china :P
(not that it probably stops many people) - ISellDrugs, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Seriously who doesn't love beer?
- KloroFormd, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2*pops the lid off a Shiner Bock*
Let's do it! - davidwasman, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Me. I prefer a good bourbon.
- whorelock, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2I'm doing my part to make America #1!
