In Nuremberg, organisers revealed 70,000 England fans who flooded the city drank 1.2MILLION pints of beer - an average of 17 pints each. Astonished bar keeper Herrmann Murr said: "Never have I seen so many drink so much in such little time.""

I heard the same story on NPR about massive beer consumption by soccer (football) fans in Germany. 17 pints per day per person... since some will drink many fewer, presumably a good number of fans are consuming well over 20 pints per day. I hope the German plumbing is in good working order!
