In European countries people are introduced to alcohol at a much younger age, but they don't go on vomit-inducing benders like the youth of the USA.
As a European I would agree with that with the exception of Poland, Russia, Hungary, The Czech Republic, Moldova, Slovakia, the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Lithuania, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Armenia, Austria, Montenegro, Greece, Bulgaria, Monaco, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovina, the Ukraine, Andorra, Luxembourg, Belarus, Belgium, Holland, Ireland, Malta, Georgia, Cyprus, Estonia, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Latvia, Macedonia and San Marino, parts of Italy, Switzerland and Turkey and especially the UK.
In some parts of Switzerland and Italy its not cool to be drunk in public, so people get drunk at home. Some Turks are strict Moslems.
