Aldi is giving away free beer to 1,000 lucky shoppers during the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship (Euro 2024).
Scientists have worked out, on behalf of Aldi, that England fans alone are set to spill around 4.6 million pints of beer every time Gareth Southgate’s team scores a goal at the Euros in Germany.
Dr Eamon Fulcher, professor of Cognitive Science at Split Second Research, explains: “We examined online videos of what happens in a pub or large-screen bar area when England fans gather to watch a live tournament match.
“We estimate that about 20 per cent of the pints are spilt - 15 per cent are thrown into the air and a further five per cent are spillages due to movement."

To make up for all these spilt pints set to occur during the Euros, Aldi is offering 1,000 shoppers the chance to win some free beer.

Managing director of Buying at Aldi UK, Julie Ashfield, said: “We’re all used to seeing footage of beer flying through the air when England scores and hopefully we’ll see it a few times over the next month, which is why we’re offering customers free vouchers and amazing prices on our beer range."
