[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]European who went to private here in the US.

I’ve been drinking wine since 13 and many of my friends were drinking in high school.   I can extrapolate that to all private kids, but it tracks. [/quote]

Be careful to avoid the trope about European attitudes about alcohol. It’s not like Europeans are more sophisticated about it or something. Binge drinking and problem drinking are huge problems in many places in Europe. [/quote]

I've never seen someone from my country funneling beer flavored water through a hose.  We also don't rape women after.[/quote]

What country? European are very heavy drinkers with a higher percentage of alcoholics. There are many rapes and sexual assaults resulting from alcohol consumption in Europe. Look at the statistics for sexual assault during Oktoberfest in Germany, last Friday before Christmas in the UK, etc. All these European countries have the same problems.

How about this is Spain.

[quote] A new survey has revealed Spaniards’ attitudes toward sexual violence against women. According to the results, half of Spanish men and 45.6% of Spanish women believe that rape “often” happens because of alcohol consumption, and that this makes the attackers less to blame. Indeed, 15% believe the victim is partly at fault for “having lost control” if she is drunk.

Yes everything is fine in Europe. It just those Americans who have a problem with drinking. [/quote]
