Water costs more than beer in heaviest-drinking country in the world

The Czech people call it liquid bread and drink an average of 37 gallons per person, per year. Beer is something the average American consumes only half as much of as the average Czech.

The nation’s patron saint is also the patron saint of brewing and malting, so how is Sigma Nu going to compete with that?

A glass of water costs more at Czech restaurants than a glass of beer. [Source]
