The Drunkest Euro 2020 Group Stage Games - Which Match Is The Wettest?

It’s official. Turkey versus Wales is set to be the booziest match of the Euro 2020 Group Stages. BettingOdds.com has examined each of the 24 competing countries to see which enjoys the royal sozzle the most.

Taking into account the Average Daily Intake in Grams of Pure Alcohol of each participating nation, an average of 4.257 pints of beer will be drunk from supporters of the two countries in the Group A clash on Wednesday 16 June, or the equivalent of 7.331 330ml bottles, to top the list of any fixture in the 36-game Group Stage.

According to Our World In Data, in the United States, a standard drink contains approximately 14 grams of pure alcohol, which is the amount typically found in 12 ounces (355 mL) of regular beer, 5 ounces (150 mL) of wine, or 1.5 ounces (45 mL) of spirit (1). From this foundation, the calculations have been worked out for the 330ml and 1 pint servings more familiar to a British readership.

The results are based on data taken from World Population Review (aside from North Macedonia, which is worked out based on data taken from the World Health Organisation). For the purpose of consistency and fairness, the Home Nations (England, Scotland, and Wales) all use the same data compiled from the results of the combined United Kingdom.

Take a look below at the illuminating list of illustrious imbibers.
