The Euro 2020 Knockout Games - Predicting The Top Tanked Track To The Final
We hope you’ve been enjoying the Euro 2020 tournament as much as we have. BettingOdds.com has examined each of the remaining 16 nations in the competition to see which is the booziest route to the final, and which two teams would create the most mashed match-up in the headline event on July 11.
And the winners are: Portugal versus Czech Republic!
Yes, this match will leave the Portuguese p*ssed and the Czechs putting the ‘Pub’ in Republic, should the two nations make it all the way to the final. On any given day, the average citizens of these two respective nations combined will consume 6.13 330ml bottles of beer, or 3.56 pints.
These results take into account the Average Daily Intake in Grams of Pure Alcohol of each participating nation. 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. 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. All of the references are to be found at the bottom of this study.
