There's men drinking on the tube. Firstly, not allowed. Secondly, it's 11am!

I think there is both a big football and a big rugby match in London today. (Not an excuse just an explanation! Much cheaper than at the stadium)

Yeah! You're absolutely right! And they are actually being OK.

I was thinking about this. I’ve seen lots of Americans being horrible drunk people in public, and they’re not actively drinking. But here in Germany, unless it’s a big drinking holiday, like Silvester or Carnival, most people know to behave…

Same with Americans and guns! It's almost like culture plays a role.

I keep asking other Americans how anyone is supposed to learn Responsible Drinking when they’re not allowed to legally drink until they’ve largely left their parents’ guidance already.

In the USA it is sometimes a thing where first day they can legal drink they go out and have a shot for every year… 21 shots, and some/many of them end up dying because of how stupid it is. In Germany, this would be at 18 and the parents would be all, “Oy! NO!"

Actually, I suppose it would be 16, and the bartender would be all, “nope, no shots until 18… here’s your beer.” Either way…

I have never seen the drinking age enforced where I'm from. Nevertheless, we don't get drunk in the same way as people from colder countries seem to.

True, it would only be enforced in this story because they would order 16 shots specifically to celebrate their 16th birthday. _Normally_ one would keep their head down and just order their beers and be happy with it.

Oh, I still believe it should be enforced by the way. I don't see traffic rules enforced where I'm from either and it's hell.
