English World Cup Fan Shows His Teeth, UnfortunatelyThe London Mirror reports that thirsty English World Cup fans are threatening to drink Germany dry. Hysterical brewers trumpeted the news that beer could run out before the World Cup final due to the high English demand.
There are 70,000 English fans in Nuremburg, who have drunk approximately 1.2 million pints of beer. A pint, as I had to find on Wikipedia, is 1/8 of a gallon. For the mathematically challenged, the Mirror reports that's 200 pints per minutes or 17 pints per fan. (That doesn't seem like that much to me, upon reflection,)
A barman in Nuremburg pub, which ran dry after fans drained all 32 of his 11 gallon barrels, said "Never have I seen so many drink so much in such little time," the Mirror reported. I guess he's never heard a good drunkalogue.
Wherever they went, the English sucked it up. In Cologne, local pubs ran out of Klisch beer. One brewery noted it produced a record 418,000 gallons to keep up with demand.
I guess we don't have to worry that our Fellowship will be declining any time soon, not if the English have anything to say about it. For today, cheers!
