- satchman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+45dammit canadians, let's get to work! 19th? for SHAME!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+40Yeahh Go Australia!
Love my beer, in fact I'm drunk right now!! - oogee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+38Canadians were too hammered to complete the survey, I think. It's the only way this makes sense . . .
- swiftekho, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34Yeah, I do believe the Czechs have been on the beer scene a lot longer than most... However, Ireland doesn't disappoint its sons and daughters, with a valiant second.
- Rikkochet, on 10/12/2007, -4/+35"How did they calculate the values? If they calculated it from the pints, then the Imperial Pint is bigger than the US Pint."
They probably calculated it from the liters.. You know, like standard unit of measurement... - jdc760, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26People are ***** with Wikipedia... the order just changed twice in two minutes...

There's the original ACCURATE source.
(Sorry for comment abuse) - johnlandes, on 10/12/2007, -4/+27We don't need to drink as much as the US since our beer is stronger.
- popamono, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27Ozi Ozi Ozi!

- milo3600, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Scotland is a nation but not a state. The state it is a part of is the United Kingdom. The UK is made up of four nations: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I've never been prouder to live in Ireland.
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Vodka is for people who want to commit suicide through their liver. Beer, however, is a cheerful beverage.
- wbreim, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18notice in the map that more developed countries hae more beer drinkers obviously but notice France, Italy there's no data. I think it must be because they drink wine like we drink beer.
- Dumbledorito, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Are there any competitive drinking events on TV? If not, why the hell not?
- schreiber, on 10/12/2007, -8/+22Further proof that Europe is better.
kill me - dolemite5005, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15I've always wondered why I drink so much damn beer, now I know, I'm Czech.
- mikkelfunck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14@johnlandes
Let me qoute Monthy Python:
"American beers is like making love in a canoe - its ***** close to water"
cheers - ostracize, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Canadians get less vacation days per year than Europeans. Also, cold weather is not necessarily conducive to beer drinking (less BBQs, more hard liquor instead, etc.)
- Domiko, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15S'ok, our beer is better up here anyway.
- Gizza, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Come on guys, we're not far behind Germany, who's not pulling their weight?
- spamzor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Go Australia!!!!
Take that you yanks!! hahaha :-) - Billiam627, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1213th? I can speak for the University at Albany when I say that we are feverishly doing our part to raise this embarrassing ranking.
- lookitsbeige, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12I blame crappy domestic beer.
- MrLeEx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11hahahaha australia is 4th
- Caps, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Gizza: Sorry dude that was me.. I can't keep drinking at work...
- ojk007, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12"4 Australia 109.9"
4th? comeon guys pull your finger out! - iakupo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Woo Australia number 4... Duffman!
- crillz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11woo! Ireland's 2nd! Another reason why Ireland kicks everyone's ass (excluding the Czech Republic THIS TIME)
Abú Éire! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11"No it isn't. It's mythological, like Narnia or Wyoming."
That's not true! I know a guy who said his sister's boss's cousin met someone online who claimed they knew a guy who knew a guy that visited Narnia! - nixonrichard, on 10/12/2007, -5/+14Ireland is the one that really has a reputation to maintain. They gotta hurry up and drink if they want to beat the stupid Czech Republic.
- Sujay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9I just love that wikipedia has all this info.
- SeismicShock, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10i would think you would be more enraged that the filthy czechs were besting you
- archlich, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10That's the nitrogen bladder. Delicious nitrogen.
- pampusik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Ah yes... Czechs drink beer like most anybody else drinks lemonade. I'm shocked Slovakia is so far behind...
- AReallyGoodName, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Yeah i feel ashamed that we're only 4th.
- autocracy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Why the Czechs? Well, among other things its cheaper to buy a beer in Prague than it is to buy bottled water. Gambrinus also is an awesome tasting beer. I'm sad there is no Gambrinus in the US.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13No. Scotland is a country.
- Obliviate, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I'm pretty sure Australia still has the highest per capita in any city in the world - Darwin. You know America, that place Crocodile Dundee is from. I think they have a lot of spare time.
- dugon666, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7You HAVE to be kidding me!
- Obliviate, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8In Australia's defence, we also have very cheap, high quality, readily available wine to drink as well. I'd suggest that the Czech Republic's currency exchange prohibits the purchase of cheap, quality wine from their neghbours but then again they'd also be very heavy vodka drinkers. When I was in Prague, a pint of 12% alcohol Lager was less than $1 Aussie. And it tasted damn good. If you ask for "Light" beer you get a beer that is light in colour. They have no low-alchohol beer, but they do have alcohol-free beer for the kiddies.
And for all those who have no idea about the Czech republic's beer traditions, there is a town called Pilzn there. It's where they invented the Pilsner style of beer and one particular brand you may know of, something called Budweiser.
And for the Canadian that tried to make the excuse that it's too cold to drink beer in Canada, well it's pretty cold in the Czech Republic too mate. - diulei, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6If by crappy domestic beer you mean Bud, Coors, Miller, than yes. Disgusting.
There are good beers like Sam Adams and Yuengling though. - AuAndCs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6i blame both
- Gizza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I don't know wtf that was coos i didn't bother reading it. But I dugg it down anyways for being too bloody big.
- safetybuzz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Oooh it's nice to be Czech...beer is cheaper than coca-cola there *thumb*
- mcwizard, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6to settle it I think we all need to have a drinking contest
- gpcprog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You know, Im from Czech Republic, and I can tell you, people do drink a lot there.
(plus there is no non-sense law saying people under 21 can't drink) - fremeer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6god damn aussies being 4th, i blame though god damn wine drinkers. At least the countries on top of us have good beer. We need to lower the drinking age to 16 to catch up!
I wonder if they tallied it up. - rm999, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9Basically a map of how cool different countries in the world are.
