Visit the UK/Ireland and then tell me Europeans are more intelligent or responsible about alcohol than Americans.

How do these countries polices and practices compare to the other contries' policies and practices in eastern and western europe with respect to alcohol?

Higher drinking ages, more restricted bar opening times. But yeah, the British and Irish drink like lunatics. I've heard that the French actually consume more alcohol than the English. But the difference is they space it out, whereas the English binge drink and then fight and vomit in the streets.
