Drinking

In england we drink from 18, so by the age of 20 your pretty much passed the lets drink till we puke phase. We do drink heavily though, i guess its engrained in our culture, but we're taught at school to understand the consiquences. By university they expect us to know, and if we don't, the bouncers at the club let us know by throwing us out. Any way, with a bottle of scotch costing £15.00 ($27.00), i dont know how we manage to drink so much. Beer is good at a cool £2.00 a pint ($3.60). Taxation over here hikes everything up a few notches. Sucks doesn't it.
