Czech Republic has max beer guzzlers

London: Although China biggest beer guzzling nation in world but among European countries Czech Republic and Germany toped the list after China.

China supped the most beer in total with 54bn litres; however this only works out to 40 litres per person when factoring in the country's extremely high population rate of approximately 1.35bn, the Independent reported.

The Czech Republic , famous for brands such as Pilsner Urquell and Budvar, has the highest amount of beer drunk in the world per head at 143 litres, with 1.5bn litres as a nationwide total.

Germany, known for the annual Oktoberfest beer festival that saw 6.4m litres of beer drank by 6.3m visitors from all over the globe last month, doesn't follow far behind with an estimated 110 litres downed per person.

Spiros Malandrakis, Euromonitor International senior analyst, told the Telegraph that UK drank 4.3bn litres of beer, 67 litres per capita and the low number was down to British people opting for more expensive drinks such as spirits.

Seven out of the 10 nations with the most rapid beer sale growth were Muslim-majority countries including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia and Iran.
