Czech Republic in the Daily Ceteris
Questions from the daily puzzle where the answer is Czech Republic.
Which country's people drink the most beer per head?
Czechs drink 148.8 litres of beer a head each year and have led the world every year since 1993. Second-placed Lithuania manages 110.6 litres — and Czech beer is so cheap relative to income that in many pubs it undercuts bottled water, a pricing quirk with public-health consequences the government keeps debating. source
