Happy National Beer Day

A new survey for the holiday asked beer drinkers just how much they drink a week.  And even though the most common answer is just a few . . . there are some people who are REALLY going for it.

65% of beer drinkers have between one and four beers a week.

But 4% drink between 16 and 20 beers a week . . . that’s two or three per day.

And 5% drink 21 or more beers a week . . . that’s between three and, um, infinity per day.

The survey also found beer is the most popular drink people order at bars . . . and people believe beer drinkers are more approachable than people who drink any other type of booze.
