According to Statistics Canada, each Canadian drank 92 liters of coffee in 2005. Sounds like a pretty high figure, but let’s break it down. That’s 250 Milliliters per day, or one small cup of coffee. Your coffee maker isn’t even going to get a workout at that rate!
Now, since I travel roughly 50,0000 miles every year for work, and I drink coffee, I probably got over 2000 miles per gallon! That’s pretty darn efficient, eh? I do better than one of those newfangled energy drink, gatorade, coffee and slurpee burning hybrid humans.
Looking at the stats for beer consumption, Canadians went through 80.3 liters each in 2005. Now, come on, we can do better than that! Only .22 liters per day each? No wonder Ernie has to do more than his share to keep Blue Beaver Beer sales up. That’s less than one bottle of beer – pitiful!
So get out there and pick up some Blue Beaver Beer. When you’re feeling blue, grab a Beaver. Everyone has to do their share. Don’t force guys like Ernie to drink enough beer for you too.
It’s a heavy burden, but we all have to make sacrifices for the things we love.
Hey Guys, I love your “Random Posts” feature. This post on coffee got me wondering. RT’s Untwisted blog is powered by “a whole lot of coffee” (it says so at the bottom of it). So is the Redneck Bar and Grill powered by a whole lot of Blue Beaver? Do you guys drink a bit to clear your mind before you come up with this stuff (which is, by the way, very funny). Perhaps you could devote two posts to a study. Write one after consuming x amount of beaver, and then write the other the next day after drinking an equal amount of coffee. Let your readers determine which is funnier. I’d like to know if beer drinkers really are funnier, or just think they’re funnier. I’ve always thought my sense of humor improves, but perhaps it’s the audience that improves after sharing a few?
Hmm, this idea sounded better in my head than its coming out here.

I’ve asked RT how much a “whole lot of coffee” is, but I don’t remember the answer.
Maybe we will take this challenge. Ernie and I will have to discuss it over a beer!
Doesn’t surprise me that Canadians drink more coffee, but I am willing to bet the farm that Americans drink a lot more unhealthy coffees, i.e. frozen super large cappuccinos. And I am however one of those Americans.
I can attest first hand about how Canadians drink lots of coffee, I was doing a research expedition in the S. African bush over the summer with a bunch of Brits and Canadians and the Canadians loved the coffee, and well the Brits lol loved their tea. Me I am kind of in the middle
hmmmmm good research
Very interesting, I wonder if the amount of drunk coffee depends on the quality of it in a country or on the weather.
Seems like Canda doesn’t have either
I have two words that can completely explain the Canadian consumption of coffee (try saying that 3 times really fast!)…
Tim Horton’s!!!
Had a roommate from Canada once…ranted and raved about how he couldn’t go to Tim Horton’s down here. I was glad to be rid of him! =)
In the U.S. the Boston tea party (taxation without representation) made coffee the national drink instead of tea. It became “un-American” to drink tea. Then in the 60′s, coffee lost a load of market share to…soft drinks. Now you know why we are getting so obese!
No wonder canadians have to use the potty so much down here in Florida, heh,heh…
At first glance it looks like a lot, but when broken down it is a bit modest. We brew two 12-cup pots of coffee everyday. I have 1-2 cups and my wife drinks the rest! I guess it’s just a matter of perspective!
“newfangled energy drink, gatorade, coffee and slurpee burning hybrid humans”!!! Thanks for that, I laughed my newfangled energy drink right onto my screen.
I’m actually shocked though… one small cup of coffee a day?! I know we Yanks drink an average of nearly three cups of coffee worth of caffeine a day, but there’s no telling how that caffeine gets to us. My bet would be most of it is in the form of the bubbly sugar water we love way too much…
Three cups a day for me whether I need it or not!
Maybe they are not a fan of tea or other possible alternative.
