Beer as a Part of Czech Culture

In the September survey, the Public Opinion Research Centre concentrated particularly on the importance of beer and pubs for Czech culture and tradition. An absolute majority of respondents (ninety and more percent) think that beer is a national drink and represents one of the things that Czechs can boast about abroad. On the other hand, a noticeable number of respondents said that much too great an importance was placed on beer in the Czech Republic (63 %) and that drinking large amounts of beer was a bad characteristic of the population of the Czech Republic (67 %).
