Beer Per Head
Each Year
By John Stackhouse
Melbourne, Oct. 11. Australians believe that beer is best-and prove it by drinking probably more per head than any other people in the world.
Government statistics show that every man, woman and child in Australia, drinks an average of 24 gallons a year of the heady, potent, local brew. Sir Arthur Fadden, the Federal Treasurer, commented in his budget speech that this consumption brings £76,416,000 into his coffers.
He estimated that 210,000,000, gallons of kcal bees would be drunk in Australia this year, and he expects the figure to rise still higher in 1953-56.
