Brussels, Oct, 26. Belgians, who claim to be the heaviest beer drinkers in the world, are slowly returning to their prewar drinking habits.

The high cost of living and Belgium's drinking laws, which forbid the sale of spirits for consumption on the spot except in private clubs, have played their part in this new trend.

FIRST EXPORTS
Since World War I Belgian breweries have been exporting beer for the first time over in an attempt to make their brews known on the world market.
Last year, 4,300,000 Jibris (085,000 gallons) of beer were sold abroad, but this is still relatively little compared with the 10,000,000 litres (3,555,000 gallons) imported.
