Berlin, Germany (AHN) - Germany's brewing industry suffered its eighth decline in the last nine years. Beer consumption plummeted to a record low of 29.7 gallons (112.5 liters) per person for 2007.

In the 1980s, Germans guzzled down 41.2 gallons (156 liters) of beer. However, Brewery Association managing director Peter Hahn attributed the decline in beer consumption to changing demographics and a poor summer.

Yes, it places them about 4th in the world's biggest drinkers per capita.

Of all the places I have visited though, I think England tops the list as the most accepting of being hammered anywhere at anytime, throwing up in front of people you don't know, drinking on your lunchbreak, and drinking under 12!

We can't afford that amount of beer anymore. Prices doubled, unfortunately wages did not.

I'm certain the zero tolerance for Drunk Driving has a lot to do with it...

Also the penalty for DWI is enormous in Germany.

How about the overall alcohol consumption? Is it just beer that went down or also wine, liquors and things.

Germans may be drinking less beer per year, but you should be there the day they drink it!
