To this, we add Soubriquet at 112.1 liters per annum. This ranks him before Australia, but after Germany.

  1. Soubriquet sadly reports a slip in the rankings over the last year.
    His doctors, in their wily wisdom, have prescribed medications that are somewhat hostile when taken by a frequent imbiber... the warnings were severe and scary.
    As a result Soubriquet' beer consumption has plummeted, leaving him soberly wistful, dreaming of those days when he'd search "Beer Paradise" for plunder, coming away with dusty bottles of cellar-matured Kriek. A favourite, at one time was a beer called "Delirium Tremens", sigh. A nice big mug of Hoegaarden would go down nicely right now.
