Winning option:> 6.0 Mio up to 6.4 Mio Perhaps that's not surprising given that 6.4 million people visited the festival and drank a total of 6.9 million liters of high-octane beer brewed specially for the festival by the city's six leading breweries.

his year's Oktoberfest folk festival has already attracted an estimated 3.6 million visitors, the city of Munich said Sunday.

Officials are expecting a total of about 6 million visitors to celebrate the 16-day extravaganza, now half over, but the beer festival's start indicates the final number might well be higher.

The Oktoberfest is best known for its bands of oompah music playing in cavernous tents, local men wearing traditional Bavarian Lederhosen leather shorts and women in bright costumes.

This year's visitors have consumed 3.6 million two-pint (one-liter) mugs of beer so far. A mug, called "mass" in German, of the malty pale beer sells for up to â‚¬9.50 ($12.30).

Last year's 6.9 million visitors downed almost 8 million mugs.
