Hungry Planet: What the World Eats is a book by Peter Menzel with pictures from around the world of what an average family eats in a week. I enjoyed flipping through his previous book Material World showing the possessions of families around the world.
Time Magazine has 15 of the photos from Hungry Planet online. Check out how much Germans drink.

It is just 2 beers + 1 bottle of wine each day for each of the parents. Or, maybe, 1 beer per day for each of the kids and the rest of the stuff for die Eltern, jk. Seems like normal northern european dosage. My last week's trip to Amsterdam confirms that :)
I was thinking of more than just the alcohol. I see 20 bottles of beer, 4 bottles of wine, 12 bottles of mineral water, 10 bottles of something else, 6 cartons of fruit juice. In Mexico it's 12 large bottles of coke and the better part of a case of what looks like beer and 2 large jugs of water. In Britain it seems like a quart of milk a day and in Bhutan they apparently barely drink
