That may well be true in Northern Ireland, but I can tell you there is DEFINITELY a strong culture of binge drinking in many parts of England, and far too much antisocial behaviour as a result.
A typical night out in Bedford, for me, is a night IN. Why? Because I am sick to death of being too scared to walk down the High Street which is usually full of broken glass, smelly kebabs and people falling over everywhere -- and of course all of the random fighting isn't exactly very nice either. The police are nowhere to be found. A night out in London is no better, because then I have to face the "vomit comet" train back home with the nasty little thugs who get their kicks out of violence and threats. Nice.....
