We can say this only because the knowledge about using alcohol has been forgotten. Traditional cultures knew exactly what different types of alcohol does to people and were using it for ritual purpose. Only today and especially in anglo world you are getting drunk get fucked up.

Anglos have different and very barbaric drinking culture from the European point of view. The whole week you are hard-working and sober and then on friday you drink to loose control of yourself. This is what puritan morality did to you.

I agree about the Anglo drinking style being a perversion. Personally I have a more Southern-European approach which is far more adult, and more relaxed about alcohol consumption. Doesn't prevent me from getting nasty hangovers though.

In southern-european countries its societal taboo to be visibly, obnoxiously drunk. When drinking with anglos its necessity - its perceived as an achievment, its masculine and if you dont get drunk you are a pussy.
