To have spaces where alcohol wouldn't be allowed would be very strange.

Being where I am and having as many British friends as I do, I was ASTOUNDED to learn how much they drink on an everyday basis. I have friends who will not eat at a restaurant that doesn't serve alcohol, full stop (as they say). And yes, there would be no such thing as an alcohol-free party, or dry sorority house. They would absolutely not accept membership in a sorority that imposed any sort of alcohol rules.
But from what little I saw of this, they seem to really focus on the British women being lazy slobs which I find perplexing. I wonder how many completely lovely girls they had to film to find the fried egg chick. Of course, these girls are not stupid - they know the rules of reality TV - and horrifying dress and conversation is one sure way to get yourself on TV.
