The common notion that Germans
are the heaviest beer drinkers is refut-
ed by statistics published by the British
Board of Trade. Last year every Ger
man, on the average, drank twenty
seven gallons, while the average Eng
lishman drank thirty-two gallons. The
consumption in the United States was
less than half as much, per capita, as
in Germany. With the exceptions of
the Belgians, the British are the lars-
est beer-drinkers in the world, and the
consumption has grown rapidly during
the last fifteen years. A sharp change
toward total abstinence would compel
recasting of budgets, for last year
Sc per cent of the net revenue of Great
Britain was derived from the taxation
