== Alcoholic drinks ==
 
Drinking is an essential part of Czech culture, and Czechs are known for their beer. Here are some of the alcoholic drinks you can order in Czech.
 
=== Beer ===
 
Czechs consume more beer per capita than any other country in the world. The brewing of beer is deeply integrated into Czech history, culture, and society. Czech beer can be divided into several categories:
 
* Světlé pivo – pale beer, the most common type of Czech beer, from which many other styles of Czech beer have developed.
* Tmavé pivo – dark beer, often compared to German Schwarzbier, it has a caramel-like and roasted malt flavor.
* Polotmavé pivo – semi-dark beer, a type of Czech beer that is fermented at low temperatures and matured for several weeks.
* Ležák – lager, a bottom-fermented beer, usually made from pale malt. Czech Ležák is known for its clean, crisp taste and golden color.
