but I'm pretty good training beer.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Today is National Drink Beer Day. Today it's kind of
a why not day? I mean, why should everybody drink
beer on September twenty eighth. It's about the reason for
the holiday. What state do you think drinks the most beer?
North Dakota. The average North Dakota drinks around forty five

(01:03):
point eight gallons of beer every year. New Hampshire is
behind them. Now Utah, they need to step it up.
They're way behind in last place, the average Utah, and
they only drink twelve gallons of beer every year. About
ten and a half cans make up a gallon of beer. Now,
what city do you think drinks the most beer? Well,
that'd be Green Bay, Wisconsin. So I guess today we've
just been the day watching football and drinking beer. So hey, whatever,

(01:27):
nice Sunday. Now beer, It is the third most drink
beverage in the world. That's behind water and tea. All right,
this is going on entertainment. On September the twenty eighth,
