By the Numbers
78 - The number of years the Budweiser
Clydesdales have been associated with the brand
Budweiser. There were introduced in 1933 to
celebrate the end of national Prohibition
20.8 - The number of gallons of beers chugged
by the average American consumer in 2011,
making it the nation's most
popular alcoholic beverage
44.7 - The number of gallons of carbonated
soda sipped by the average American consumer
in 2011
28.3 The number of gallons of water the
average American consumer drank in 2011
1.9 million - Increase in the number of beer
barrels across all brands sold from 2005 to 2011
10 million - The decrease in the number of
barrels sold of the top 20 beer brands,
suggesting that Americans are increasingly
choosing to drink imported or craft beers

| You don't say..... New fad on campus is "Drunkorexia" — combining the worst aspects of binge drinking and eating disorders. It is a condition by which college students skip meals to control their weight, saving both money (and calories) they can then use to drink. A new study from the University of Missouri found that 16 percent of college students engage in the practice, including three times as many females as males. -------------------------- A new "stay sober" tablet reportedly is under development in Australia. The pill, which limits the effect of alcohol on the brain, is being tested on mice — who showed no signs of becoming "tipsy," despite being administered enough alcohol to make them "fall over," reports Britain's Telegraph ----------------------------- Clifton Vial, 52, wound up stuck in a snowdrift off a rural highway in eastern Alaska. All he had was a few cans of Coors Light, frozen solid. Fortunately even Coors Light contains calories to keep a person functioning. Vial says he ate the beer like beans from a can. He cut the lids off and dug it out with a knife. He has fully recovered. -------------------------------- In a large study of older adults, University of Texas researchers found that mortality rates were significantly lower for drinkers than for teetotalers. Among drinkers, heavy partakers (4-plus drinks a day) had a higher mortality rate than did moderate ones (1–3 drinks a day). Still, even the heavy drinkers lived longer than non-drinkers |
