Regarding this particular Useless Fact...

(Context here. I'd be there, but I'm not a member and can't be bothered to join.)

22 gallons is 90 litres, is 270 bottles. Give or take.

That's .75 of a bottle of beer, every day. Or, more usefully, 5 beers a week.

That seems high, for an average.

Totally unrelated note: that sign is in the shape of the U.S. state of Alabama.

Way to get into the spirit of the community!

If only the idiot owner would re-open membership, or relinquish control to someone who gives a shit about the community.

"Last updated: 2010". She's gone, dude.

Perhaps create your own community and crosspost with some "Uh, this old comm is dead. Sorry." notes?

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Nope. She hasn't updated in three years, she has no listed contact information, no public posts to comment in, but when I tried to get LJ Abuse to stage a putsch a couple months ago they said she responded and was keeping the community as-is.

If the current maintainer of a community has been AWOL for a long time there's a way to get it passed over to someone else. I forget how, though. Probably in the FAQs.

See above. :)

I don't drink that much, but 5 beers / week doesn't seem all that high.

The average American walks about 900 miles per year (or about 5,100 steps per day, according to Bassett, et al., 2010). Other countries get much better beer mileage.

Not terribly low in the land of PBR and the Silver Bullet. I'm assuming the sample is restricted to adults; if it also includes kids, then it might be skewed upward... but there are a lot of folks who down a six-pack on the weekend down there, so perhaps not.

-- Steve's alcohol consumption averages slightly under one drink per day, come to think of it, though that's split between beer and wine and is almost always with a meal.

5 beers a week is a light week for . . . some. (*whistles*)
