Beer seems to cause less problems than liquor. Although the Health community states that one beer is equivalent to one beer, I don't think that is really true. At least not in my case. I refuse to drink any liquored drink. But light beer is ok IMHO. Anyone agree that liquor is a different animal that can cetainly lead to moe problems?

Is that the Mental Health community?

There is not much worse than making vast generalizations about any group of humans based on one small sample.

What's a little generalization between friends? That's a big word, did we spell that right, Max?

I have heard that it is not uncommon in some parts of Eastern Europe to see drunks lying in the gutters semi-conscious on a regular basis.

One British thing we have adopted in Sweden (for good or worse) is their pub culture. Now there is a pub (often in British style) around every corner in bigger Sweden cities.
And the "after-work" tradition has grown quite strong here (instead of going home after work you go to a pub with your colleagues).

"I have a problem with people who don't enjoy excessive drinking".
It's a finesse thing.

I wonder if Keith Richards' alcoholism would have been worse had he lived mostly in Britain, rather than the US. I am sure Patti Hansen's return to her devout Christian roots had something to do with him cutting down on his drinking. Americans do have that puritan streak which is very disapproving of excessive drinking.
