	What a great idea for a quiz.

	Most were obvious but I was surprised by a few. Spain, for instance. I would've never thought.

	Was doing fine until the last 3 threw me

	I have to say that I find the subject of this quiz fascinating. I had this idea that Catholic Europe would favour wine, whereas Protestant Europe would favour beer. I guess that my presumption was far too simplistic.

	unkpoker:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 15:58 GMT	5 points
	I got 13 of the first 14 then missed five of the last six...and each one I missed are the only sub-50%ers...good quiz with interesting results...

	bushe: Stop wine-ing! Karl_Hungus: Don't be so bitter!

	hiariej:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 16:05 GMT	9 points
	At first I was surprised how easy it was. And then Spain, Hungary, Sweden and Moldova came along to spoil my theory.

	Russia is so low because their drink of choice is vodka.

	sam2249:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 17:14 GMT	7 points
	Ireland being the top correct answer, makes me proud.

	vegemighty:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 17:18 GMT	5 points
	For most of the beer-heavy ones (not just where beer won, but where the amount was also fairly high) I know of a number of their beers. They export any number of brands and some of them are quite famous. Oddly enough, Spain (and I really was surprised when wine came up wrong) is not one of them. I have never tasted a Spanish beer, and could not name a Spanish beer if my life depended on it.

	man unpoker, we're like the same person. got the first 14/14 and then only 1 of the last 6.

	nowthatsfunny:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 17:22 GMT	7 points
	I'd like to see Russia's vodka consumption in comparison with the wine and beer consumption!

	Tommy_C:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 18:23 GMT	5 points
	Yes, a quiz with hard liquor as the third choice would paint a clearer picture of alcohol consumption in the cold north.

	Commodore:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 18:53 GMT	7 points
	I raise my glasses to the maker of this quiz.

	Spain definitely surprised me! Guess that's why there's so many good, cheap Spanish wines out there. Keep drinking the beers, Espana.

	vegemighty - in the UK, San Miguel is quite a major brand, just another bland lager really but guess it reminds people of their holidays or something!

	triviafanpatriot:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 23:36 GMT	4 points
	I was just going with the general trend of warmer countries = wine and cooler countries = beer. Then after I was confident with this trend, along came Spain, Hungary, and Sweden.

	bcflorida:	Apr 18th, 2012 at 23:55 GMT	-1 points
	Mediterranean countries wine and non-Mediterranean countries beer by and large.

	jbphillips:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 00:18 GMT	1 point
	Spain surprised me, and I even lived there! Great quiz though!

	turqbob:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 02:14 GMT	-4 points
	I think you should definitely add london to this list

	I think you should work on your English, turqbob.

	Yay beer!

	For people who've wondered about Russia: The source gives 'spirits' as well and lists it as 6.88 - well beyond wine and beer. Amazingly enough, there's one country in the list (of this quiz) that makes the Russians look downright ascetic. South Korea sports a 9.57 in 'spirits'.

	this game is ace i suppose i was lucky because i got them all right 1st time by guessing. I reckon this game is the top of the top make some more. Thanks

	Statto2:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 18:49 GMT	2 points
	Is there potential for someone to make a lot of money by introducing the Russians to wine in a big way?

	"liters of alcohol consumed per capita" per what time period?

	jonnyt:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 20:08 GMT	3 points
	Interesting quiz, but I wonder what the time-frame is for the per capita consumption. It's too much for a daily number but far too little for annual. Is it per week?

	shooter:	Apr 19th, 2012 at 21:17 GMT	2 points
	Is this measuring just the alcohol? If so 4 liters of alcohol per capita per year is actually about 100 liters of beer or about 30 liters of wine.
