Do people in North America drink
I was just out with two canadians tonight and somehow the topic of alcohol consumption cropped up.
They both pretty much agreed that you North Americans are lightweights when it comes to drinking.
We had about 3 pints of beer and a third of a bottle of wine, before his canadian girlfriend joined us and we went to a restaurant and had another couple of bottles of wine.
None of us thought we had had that much to drink, certainly compared to boozy nights.
But I was surprised to hear from my canadian friend that people don't really go out drinking in the same way over the other side of the atlantic.
He said you get the Frat guys drinking lager and then the real alcoholics drinking shots. But not so much of going out with friends having a few beers down the local.
We always seem to get a bad rep in the uk for drinking, is it justified?
Are you North Americans lightweights or was he just a pissed up canadian?
