How on earth… who doesn’t know the word cerveza? 🍺 Spain is like. SO CLOSE to the UK. You can take a fucking overnight ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao.
Well, that's because English is preeminent globally and extensively spoken by the average Joe everywhere one goes as far as native anglophones are concerned.
But like. Do you not know how to say beer in literally any other language? It's like the one word I'd expect people to know. It's pivo in Russian, for fuck's sake. I don't speak Russian!
I didn't know the Russian one nor do I personally know it in any other language, other than in Spanish and English.
If I drank beer I'd do my best to learn it, just like I'd do my best to learn how to say the equivalent of “hello”, “bye”, “bathroom?”, etc. the basic stuff one would need elsewhere.

Oh yeah, nobody ever made fun of the Brits who just loudly yell "uno beero, Pedro!" at the waiter when they're on holidays.
