Portugal’s per capita beer consumption has been falling steadily for the last several years and last year fell to 46 litres - the lowest level in the last twelve years, Portuguese Brewers Association reported.
As compared to 2006, when per capita beer consumption was 63 litres, last year saw a decline of 27%.
According to the Association, the decline is to be blamed on increased VAT and a rise in special consumption tax (IEC).
