Where does £15bn of go? Let's see: 60m people in uk, 5 million non-drinkers (NHS figures), 84% live in england, 82% are within drinking age. This leaves 38m english drinkers. England will probably play seven matches. That leaves an average spend of £70 per person, per match (assuming that there are no 'lightweight' wine or bitter drinkers amongst us). At an entirely guessed supermarket price of £2 per pint; that's 35 pints per match. No wonder football is the national sport.
