Czechs top beer drinking poll

It is accepted that lads on a stag do will drink more than their fair share of booze and can sometimes stand out from the locals as they knock back pitchers of beer.

However, for lads on a Prague stag weekend they may struggle to keep up with the locals, as the Czechs continue to be crowned the biggest beer drinkers in the world.

Of course beer is one factor that lures stag groups over from England as it is not only cheap, but also lovely. Budvar is a very popular import and there are lots more like this over in the Czech Republic.

The latest annual list states that the average consumption per capita was 276.1 pints, putting it well ahead of Ireland in second place on 230.7 pints. The UK is way back in sixth place on 174.3 pints, so there goes our self belief that we're the masters of beer consumption.
