The World's Beer Consumption

The world's consumption of beer is said to be 17,700,000,000 litres or quarts. Of this amount 5,000,000,000 quarts are made in Germany; in Great Britain and Ireland, 4,790,000,000; in the United States, 3,200,000,000; and Austria-Hungary, 1,350,000,000. Belgium produces and consumes nearly 1,050,000,000 quarts of beer; France 840,000,000, and all the Russias only 400,000,000 quarts. At five cents a quart this would amount to the vast sum of $875,000,000. And it not only does no good, but great evil. Think of it, and if you are a beer-drinker, quit.
