I hope you spend that 1.8 minutes on improving your graph comprehension skills.

Lol

In LSOC's defense, if it takes the average American about 5 minutes, it probably takes the average EMAW less than 2.

Some very quick math suggests that Limestone makes about $120 k/yr. Not bad, but I really expected way more than that out of him.

the data in the graph is lollably wrong and/or poorly defined.  i lived in spain and purchased beer for about $0.80-1.50 us per liter from grocery stores, much cheaper than in the us.

i assume they are using some sort of a serving size adjusted price of beer in a bar, but they don't account for the fact that you frequently (normally) get a tapa included in the price of your beer in a spanish bar.


at any rate, us taxes on beer and wine are much higher than are spanish taxes.

I know that isn't why you posted the graph, but I found it more interesting and relevant as a topic. :drink:
