Funny the things you stumble across. This is something I found whilst trying pin down Coelgate hops. It's beer consumption per head statistics from the 1870's. And you know how much I like statistics.

A couple of notes: the 2003 figure given for Austria and Hungary is just for Austria; that for Prussia is for all of Germany; that for Great Britain and Irealnd is the UK; that for North America is the USA. Some of the numbers in the orignal table don't tally. Which is why I've added my own calculation.
You'll see that beer consumption has increased in most countries. Apart from Bavaria, Belgium and the UK, who were the top three in 1873.
