This article was created so English speakers could have a very rapid and easy way of determining which liquor is most popular and a symbol of national pride in a given country. Please expand. --- Radical Mallard ( talk) 13:34, 22 February 2010 (UTC) reply

12 years later, this article has become nothing but a mostly unsourced list. Even the intro notes these are "informal" distinctions, which is a terrible approach for an encyclopedia article. Need reliable sources to confirm anything included here. -- ZimZalaBim ^talk 14:07, 7 August 2022 (UTC) reply

Surely beer is the national liquor of Australia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.149.163.165 ( talk) 01:36, 22 September 2010 (UTC) reply

I'd say more beer is consumed than rum in Australia, but rum does still tend to hold the patriotic stigma. Davo499 ( talk) 00:41, 17 January 2011 (UTC) reply

By definition Beer/Lager is not a liquor. -- 84.93.38.33 ( talk) 21:59, 28 November 2013 (UTC) reply

Exactly. Beer and wine are not liquor, they are fermented drinks. That's a fundamental mistake. Still a useful article. Also, a "cocktail" is a special type of mixed drink, so the entry for Canada is completely wrong. A Caesar might be a favourite cocktail according to a writer in Alberta, but those fads change seasonally, and Canadians rarely drink cocktails to begin with. The number one alcoholic beverage in Canada is beer, and the favourite liquor is rye whiskey. 77Mike77 ( talk) 21:20, 5 December 2013 (UTC) reply

Please help with removing undistilled beverages, mixed drinks, etc. from this list and adding any missing verifiable national liquors. MisterRandomized ( talk) 07:48, 19 May 2016 (UTC) reply

MisterRandomized, shouldn't name brands be excluded too? I feel as though it is WP:Advertising, rather than the focus being on the liquor itself. Savvyjack23 ( talk) 21:35, 12 June 2017 (UTC) reply

Do mixed drinks and cocktails count?? Dawa the Kenyan drink is a cocktail. What about liqueurs? Ethopia's tej, although boasts a strong alcoholic content, is fermented and not distilled. Savvyjack23 ( talk) 13:23, 28 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Removed basi (Philippines); fermented not distilled. Savvyjack23 ( talk) 13:32, 28 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Removed mead (Poland), fermented from honey. Savvyjack23 ( talk) 13:35, 28 August 2017 (UTC) reply

Removed Vietnamese's' rượu nếp, rượu cần and rượu nhàu rừng ( snake wine); fermented not distilled. Savvyjack23 ( talk) 14:06, 28 August 2017 (UTC) reply
