This one was kind of a tossup for a lot of people between the Euro country that is known for its wine rather than its beer, and the other Euro country that's known for its wine, not its beer, and I guess I made the answer choices harder than they should have been. Oops.
Question 4: Alcohol
Six of the eleven monasteries that are permitted to brew and sell authentic Trappist beer are located in Belgium, the other five elsewhere. Which of the following countries does NOT have at least one active Trappist brewery?
I'm surprised it seems to be somewhat common knowledge there's a Trappist brewery in the US. I'm American, I was in Belgium not too long ago and did plenty of beer related "research", and I had no idea there was one in MA.

I had no idea. I just figured it was the red herring answer.
I looked at the countries around Belgium, and I thought it was more likely France and the Netherlands would have one. I was wrong of course.
Now to consult a map to see if those countries are where I thought they were.
On August 1, 1981, MTV led off its first day by airing the video of the Buggles' Video Killed the Radio Star. By the time the day had ended, the network had aired 116 different videos. Some were shown just once, but many aired multiple times, as the total number of plays was 208. (Video Killed the Radio Star was shown twice that day.) In fact, three different videos were each shown on MTV five times that day: Phil Collins's In the Air Tonight, April Wine's Just Between You and Me, and one other.

24 hours to answer. If you're inspired by this question to watch some more 80s videos, send me your answer first.

I had no clue. I went with the "France is known for wine not beer, so let's go with that" strategy. Play bad, get there.

Ah, yes, that's a mistake it's easy for me to make; not your fault at all. (Whether your previous entry was late or on time, I should have noticed and not downloaded it with the other answers.)
These have been good. I feel kinda dumb for getting the lacrosse one wrong; should have been able to get that from minimal lacrosse knowledge like watching Archer or American Pie.
