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.

I feel bad for Britain and Spain. Taxes suck.

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.

sys, the graph isn't really about how much beer costs at different places....

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