We have a terrible reputation for drunk and disorderly behaviour. Still, it’s a good thing our government banned psychedelic mushrooms in 2009 and ignores evidence based advise from scientists on the subject.
The bottom image needs a line of drunk 15 year old girls basically naked and way too high heels standing in line for a 18+ club. With one of them puking, even though it’s only 22:00 and two others holding their hair in such a way the puke still goes in the hair.
I don’t know why but that’s what Saturday night in a UK city looks like
It’s a famous image because it encapsulates UK binge drinking culture so well.
The man on the floor with the implication that he fell but saved his beer. The man getting arrested. The woman bitching at police to stop. The people in the background not giving a shit because it’s an average Saturday night.
My English mate in the USA didn’t have the posh English accent, and everyone would ask him why he didn’t sound English, then they’d do a exaggerated posh English accent (why do Americans love doing this haha) and then ask him why he sounds more like me (a Scot), he was from northern England so that’s why he sounded more like me.
Americans more often get obnoxious and angry when they are drunk, Brits usually get funny and silly. I’ve lived in both (USA for 2 years, visited New York, Miami, etc). Granted people from each country can be chill or assholes, but drinking culture is much different. In the UK, drinking until you puke is looked down upon, the aim is to get as drunk as possible without puking. In the USA, people brag about drinking till they puke.
I’d say that Britain is the Japan of Europe, when it comes to binge drinking culture. If you’re curious:
Nah what? Are you kidding? The culture is absolutely as I said.
Is this sub full of salty Americans or something?
There is a clear and obvious difference between American drinking culture and UK drinking culture that ANYONE that has lived in both countries can clearly see. I mean it’s super obvious in the first month or so.
And obviously it has to be anecdotal, this isn’t a study lmao. Feel free to check other anecdotes online however and they will confirm what I say.
Your experience is just that. Your experience. So quit purporting it as fact.
You’re trying to generalize hundreds of millions of people based on your very limited experience. I’ve been in the alcohol industy for almost 20 years and you sound ridiculous.
The alcohol industry? Lmao what? Do you have a comparison to the UK?
Tbh this sub is full of cringe. Reddit is so much better, I haven’t argued with anyone there, but since there’s shitloads of Americans who take things seriously here it ruins it
Not sure what’s particularly funny about the alcohol industry, but I’m just going to go ahead and stop you right here. I don’t think you understand how diversity works.
It's a massive destination for lots of other countries too but for some reason they manage to not pick fights and piss and throw up all over the place so much when they visit
Tbh Amsterdam is a destination that some scrotes go to so I’m not surprised that some are fucking assholes.
I’m just talking about normal people in the USA who are cool when sober, middle class, and seemingly normal. Then when they’re drunk they get angry. I saw this so many times. USA has a lot of angry drinks.
In the UK there is some people looking for fights, but your friend won’t randomly get angry at you for no reason just because he is drunk.
Yes it’s a law. If we get drunk and silly our cops come find us and shoot us. Usually doesn’t happen because we’re trained to be angry drunks from birth.
Yeah, fuck the Republican party as well. The UK is worse from what I’ve seen. I was more so saying that I haven’t seen many people who actually think the UK is all that great over here either.
Uh no you’re just judging the UK based off its worst politicians and people.
Then you’re judging the USA of its best politicians and people.
Don’t you see how ignorant that is? The republican party isn’t America to you, but the less extreme Tory party in the UK (which gains way less votes as a percentage than the republicans) represents the UK in your mind?
The UK is way tamer politically and much further from fascism. It has less identity politics, more rights for gay people, the ability to abort, and way less human trafficking. Additionally it’s chiller, has more worker rights and unions per capita, it has universal healthcare.
The USA has insane levels of gun crime and homicide via guns, and it’s not even close to the UK’s basically non existent gun crime.
You know how Americans act like the UK has terrible knife crime? It turns out American knife crime is WAY worse per capita. All this despite the fact that the USA has so much gun crime.
And the gun crime stats don’t even consider the people who weren’t convicted that really should have been. For the sample, the police officers that freely shoot people, the “self defence” where guns were never necessary and shot an unarmed and harmless man, and the random stray bullets that kill people.
And then let’s not even get into education and lunch money for poor students, cults, racism (and systemic racism), income inequality, and many more issues.
Don’t be stupid. Criticising the UK for the reasons you’ve given is throwing stones from a glass house.
I honestly can’t believe the ignorance you show. Do you really view the UK worse than the USA?
I don’t think that our prime minister, Ricky Sushi, is a TERF, because that would require him to be a feminist.
But honestly he’s from the right wing party, what do you expect? If I judged all Americans based off what the GOP does or says, America would be 100x worse.
