We Texans could write the instruction manual on beer consumption.
The only way Texans would ever drink less beer is if the days got shorter.
And that's easy to fix by just drinking faster.
I attended University of Texas and pledged a fraternity. I was a musician then and now, so my friends and I can consume mucho cerveza, so if beer consumption is down, it's not because of us.
Just reporting in. :)
"...OK, y'all! Let's show these Aussies how it's done.

I wouldn't count on it. My Texan cousin never tires of telling a story about taking an Australian friend of his to a keg party in College Station. The Australian fellow outdrank the Texans about 2-to-1, and most of the Texans ended up passed out on the floor. The Aussie looked at my cousin and said..."You chaps don't drink much, do you?"
Not any more, I can't. Maybe that's why they kicked me out of Texas.
