London reports that Britain consumed about 960 million gallons of beer in 1926 versus 760 million gallons of milk. A writer notes 20 million low income workers paid a large share of the alcohol bill, and the government collected liquor duties totaling about 129 million pounds from a national drink bill of roughly 301.9 million pounds. The total is near the interest on national debt.
