also, the cheapest cans are from Europe. local beers are much more pricey.

hmm I live in the netherlands and can go to the store and get a half liter of beer for 45 euro cents.. I've lived in the states in cali, oregon, new york and pennsylvania.. now correct me if i'm wrong.. cause I haven't been back in a few years.. but that's still cheaper than a tall boy of pbr.

Also Nigeria wins for cheapest beer. here is an equation to help you understand

Price of beer/quantity of beer = quantity of beers consumed

Since the lower price increases the demand in beer, which increases the amount of beers consumed

Which we all know when we re-arrange the equation it equals:

Quantity of beers consumed = More Drunk
