How much could they save if they stopped drinking beer?
The average german drinks 84 liters of beer a year. You can get good beer for ~2€/l in your local supermarket. So you would save ~~42€~~ 168€ a year. Maybe more if you drink that beer in a pub or restaurant, maybe less if you go for cheap beer. Even less if you are visiting Onkel Horst a lot, he will always offer you a few beers.
Edit: Don't do math after 84 liters of beer
84L * 2€/L = 168€, no?
Sorry, I was right on track to reach my 84 liters of beer
On the other hand, it could also be a lot more prr liter if you start brewing yourself and have to factor in power and bottles and other resources 🥲 at least the taste is good..
2 €/L * 84 L = 42€ ?
Beer consumption is declining in Germany for a while now.
