Oktoberfest beer drinking dips as volume lowered

MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - Despite having an extra day to celebrate, revelers drank less of Germany's favorite tipple at this year's Munich Oktoberfest tribute to beer which ended Monday.

(excerpt)

Some 6 million litres of beer -- enough to fill around six Olympic-sized swimming pools -- were downed by the 6.1 million visitors to the festival in the Bavarian capital. That was about 100,000 litres below the 6.1 million litres in 2004.


I/m working up to an Olympic sized in my backyard someday myself,, I . uhhh, my pool can maybe hold 25,000 litres tops. ;-)
