Submit your comment "Save water, drink beer instead" is a popular water conservation slogan for hops lovers. The position is much better in the wetter Czech Republic, where the brewer's Plzensky Prazdroj operation produces the famed Pilsener Urquell. The Czech footprint is significantly smaller at 45 litres of water to one litre of beer. According to a joint statement by the brewer and WWF, this difference is due mainly to a greater reliance on irrigation in SA, and imported crops. They pointed out that, compared with other beverages, beer's water footprint was relatively small.

Why don't you all just get a life, instead of waffling on about inane matters that mean nothing in the world. Everything we do uses water. Everytime you take a bath or shower you are using more water than is used to make a liter of beer. Should we all now stop bathing? Mining uses more water than any other industry, and poisons that water to boot! Shall we close all the mines? Grow up!!!

Kay... alchohol does not cause more deaths than smoking... get your facts straight! Water should be saved, we have a water shortage in South Africa and we dont want it to get worse (more people moving into cities etc).

so what they really trying to say is that manufacturing soft drinks like coke, fanta etc is more expensive....
p.s. everyone knows all the ingredients in a beer, no everyone knows the ingredients in Coke...

To Kay and Anonymous,
If none of you guys don't like beer or smoking, why don't you guys become Nun?
I don't smoke but i do have one or two rarily but don't mean every monkey must not smoke nor drink.
I think you two need to catch a wake up.
