	I missed #1 (I was surprised by the answer) but got 16/20 which is decent.

	Americans need to pick it up! 13th is unacceptable. I think I will go help the cause now.

	I was only surprised by Spain and Portugal being on the list. I always pegged them as more of wine-drinking than beer-drinking countries.

	@Jomaw: The Scandinavian countries have extremely high tax on alcohol to discourage people from drinking lots in the long, depressing winters and committing suicide. I found it more surprising that some of them were there, rather than that any were missing. I would have got 20/20 except that I thought of #9 and obviously forgot to type it, and the well-known abbreviation for #13 wasn't accepted, about which I've sent feedback.

	I was half way through typing Czech Republic when my time ran out. Still for 15 though. Can't believe I forgot Austria!

	The US total should be considered in light of the fact that around one-third of all Americans of legal drinking are teetotalers. It's by far the highest abstention rate of any country in the developed world. By contrast, I believe the figure for Britain is around 10%.

	I was surprized that #1 had such a healthy lead on their nearest competitor. I got #2 and #3 very quickly.

	I got 18, but somehow forgot Ireland. Whoops.

	I must now reiterate my desire for a quiz with major imports of various different countries. The quiz could have the brand name and you need to fill in the country. Further, could we have a quiz of major styles of beer?

	loved this quiz! 1 away from a full house! i missed number 14. think i tried every other country round that area but that one.

	delToro87:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 18:26 GMT	6 points
	Good quiz, once you realise its European dominated (16 countries from Europe, plus the other 4 all have very strong European links) it becomes a lot easier than a lot of the other 'Top whatever in the world' quizzes. 20/20 first time I am proud so say, with about two minutes to spare!

	gopaladins:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 18:32 GMT	3 points
	every country is european or former european colony (ALL white people). of course there's something cultural about it. but i wonder if there's also a biological factor. if it were only cultural, one would think there'd be some asian or hispanic countries on here.

	No Saudi Arabia? ;-)

	C_W_Browne:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 18:40 GMT	10 points
	What about Iran. They love the sex,drugs, drink and rock n' roll there.

	Archaeopteryx:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 18:43 GMT	5 points
	Fun quiz. I got 19 out of 20, and even thought of the one I missed (Hungary) and failed to type it in. This quiz could be one of many about by-country use of various products--cigarettes, toothpaste, embalming fluid, whatever.

	HalfWelsh:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 18:43 GMT	7 points
	Top quiz! very pleased with my 19/20 and also pleased that I've been to 7 out of the top 10 countries including czech republic twice in the last year!

	Kind of surprised that Mexico isn't on here, seeing that they produce Corona, Dos Equis, Modelo and Pacifico.

	Tim95:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 18:54 GMT	7 points
	per capita = liters consumed by country divided by population. So it represents what the "average" person might drink in a year.

	Catherine_F:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 18:59 GMT	14 points
	If I switch to beer instead of cider during 2009 maybe I can push the UK into 5th place!

	Gear_Zero:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 19:22 GMT	18 points
	It's amazing how many people miss the #1. Poor show, UK - we're slipping.

	tremblingaspen:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 19:22 GMT	6 points
	Germany's only third?

	A small percentage of Czech consumption must be made up of Brits on stag trips to Prague! The one time I've been to Finland, beer was at least twice the UK price and it's not that cheap here (other than in supermarkets when sold in cans).

	Massagraf:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 20:00 GMT	3 points
	20/20?! That's not bad for a teetotaller at all... I didn't expect the first place to be the Czech Republic, the first one I thought of was Germany of course.

	Dimitrios:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 20:52 GMT	-1 points
	The units could be clearer. Is it Liters per person per year?

	Ecliptica:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 21:01 GMT	1 point
	20/20. . .Czech Republic and Slovakia were the last two I got, oops.

	Wow, I am shocked at #1 and #4!! I got 15/20 but am disappointed I missed them those 2!

	gavintj:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 21:25 GMT	-2 points
	20/20 jackpot! Croatia was my last one.

	Booger:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 21:26 GMT	4 points
	Wow! Any country that drinks more beer than the Irish needs an AA headquarters in every city and town!

	Mongoose1:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 21:33 GMT	13 points
	I'm Irish, I'm drinking right now and I still scored 18. Want to be No. 1 next year B-)

	davidr:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 21:36 GMT	1 point
	@Jimmy: Yes, litres per person per year.

	davidr:	Jan 8th, 2009 at 21:42 GMT	2 points
	@Statto: I think the Czechs give British stag parties a good run for their money. :-) (Stag party=bachelor party; not sure how well-known the phrase is in the US.)
