My back-of-the-envelope math says it somewhere around 30 minutes of minimum wage (minimum, most are making more than that). A shitty 40 of beer in the USA can be as cheap as $3, which is also around 30 minutes of minimum wage (but most people are making more than that). That's still a little less than 1.5L, but it's as close to an apples-to-apples comparison as you can get.
This does demonstrate the vast difference in PPP between US and Chinese goods. Beer is definitely part of the "basket of goods" that you can get for a much cheaper price in China.
edward aldi hands doesnt have the same ring to it
Yeah that's what my math gives too - if you factor in the alcohol content difference between this and a 40 of malt liquor it seems to shake out pretty similarly.
