Japan's per-capita beer consumption is so high that I wouldn't be surprised if
more brew is guzzled here than in America.  However, Asahi Super Dry has been
sold there since its inception.  Bad as it is, it seems pretty good when it's
sitting on a shelf of major American beers, which come in only two types:
"pxxxwater" and "call 911 immediately" :-)
