Drinking culture of this country is so pathetic and sad.
It’s a northern European thing. Been going on for millennia and wont stop because the prudish know better.

I’ve seen pissed up youngsters in just about every country I’ve bin to, bar Bangladesh. Might be a reason why they don’t have a problem with binge-drinking there though…
It is part of growing up. Just that some people never grow up in that respect, which is a bit pathetic really.
It’s interesting that since I’ve moved to Spain, I’ve noticed far more of a “going out at night” culture but it’s for tapas and drinks and they take the kids too and I’ve never seen anyone rolling around drunk, nor seen the slightest hint of trouble.
There’s a supermarket near my house and I’ve often seen the teenagers near there drinking wine (as teenagers do) but they don’t give any cheek when I walk by and I’ve never felt intimidated in the slightest. There seems to be much more respect here.
It reflects back to a lot of what was said on the tottenham riots thread earlier in the year. There seems to be more of a culture of respect and family values in other parts of Europe that we’ve largely lost in the UK.
