For generations its been as German as lederhosen, but beer drinking in Germany is now going the way of short leather pants: consumption is now lower than its ever been since the the reunification of West and East Germany in the 1990s.
According to a new report from a government statistics agency, Germans drank 96.5 million hectoliters (2.55 billion gallons) of beer last year, a decrease of 1.8% over the year before and the lowest level since 1990, notes the Associated Press.
