I don't think that's exclusive to Americans, not even close

    What the US calls drunk is just European for an afternoon toast.

    This sounds like a boast but it's actually sad? Like I live in Europe and a lot of people I know seriously have functional alcoholism, but it's normal enough that nobody thinks it a problem until it is. Alcohol is a pretty strong drug. It doesn't matter if you can "take it", it's still doing things in your body.

    Everyone's all "I don't know how InBev became a multibillion dollar global juggernaut corporation, it must have been YOU slovenly alcoholics!"

    The Scots are in the corner, leaning a bit too hard on the bricks, like "If it's named after your country you pretty much HAVE to drink it! At least we don't have problems with beer so long as you keep the pint up straight!"

    I can't understand German so I'm sure that's why they all sounded so muddy when they talk. Not the huge steins of beer. No. Don't be silly.

    Spiderman pointing at Spiderman pointing at Spiderman until we all fall the hell down. It's nice to have something in common.
