I stumbled on this map at Maps of the World’s Top Ten Countries, it’s a map highlighting the ten countries with the highest per capita consumption of beer. As several people have pointed out, the statistics are from 2001, which I didn’t see right away. I guess it’s time to get my eyes checked again.
Clearly, we Americans have some catching up to do!
