OCTOBERFEST IS OVER. WOULD THE WORLD BE A BETTER PLACE IF WE DRANK LIKE FISH YEAR-ROUND?

Oktoberfest officially ends today.  You might still see events happening through the weekend, but the big one in Munich is over.  Maybe it should just run all year though:  One in seven adults think drinking like a fish might make the world a better place.  (???)

12,000 adults were asked whether society would be better off if people drank more beer in general.  15% think it would.  49% think we’d be better off if people drank LESS beer.  The other 36% aren’t sure, or think our current beer intake is pretty spot on.

Men were twice as likely to say more beer would be a good thing.  20% of guys think it would make the world a better place, compared to just 10% of women.

The poll also found 55% of us either “like” or “love” beer.  And over a third of Americans have been to an Oktoberfest event before.
