Refined alcohol consumption comes with civilisation.

The idea that most of Europe drinks more than the Brits is an odd one.

Is it the case that uk ‘drinkers’ drink a lot, but many people don’t drink at all, or rarely. Does that skew the perception.
I suspect the civilised Europeans drink in moderation, but more of them drink-wine with dinner every night etc

So only drinking with meals effectively means drinking round the clock!

I'm in Seville right now and at 10am in a little tapas bar a number of well-dressed, middle-aged, local men were already having a glass of beer with their montaditos.

Do continental types go for White Lightning fake super strength cider? I doubt it. They are classier drinkers.

And students seem a lot less likely to be drinkers these days. Seems popular with people with a drink problem, who don’t necessarily have a roof over their heads. Cost/unit is low.

Yeah, but I'm not convinced the continental homeless fall into the "classier drinkers" bucket either. I was ruling them out of the equation.
