Japanese brewer Kirin has a fun visualization of beer consumption by country, drawn from a 2004 survey.
The chart above displays the relative beer consumption per person for the specified countries. As you can see, there are huge variations in consumption by country. The average person in the Czech Republic, for example, consumes about seven times as much beer as the average Chinese person. The chart below shows more detailed statistics (Source: Kirin Holdings Company, 2004).
I’m surprised the US doesn’t even place in the top 5!
