Nope, the Brits/Irish (I live in Northern Ireland...theyre both), DO drink quite a bit, but the culture of binge drinking/drinking games doesn't exist. It's far more social. Also, DUI rules here are STRICT and enforced (you lose your DL on the first offense), so everyone takes a taxi. The pub is considered an extention of your home, a social center. You'll see everyone from uni students to moms with prams in the pub at all hours of the day. The lunchtime pint is a deeply held tradition as well.
