How Do Different Cultures Consider The Consumption Of Alcohol?

In the United Kingdom, where people can drink wine at a restaurant table from the age of fourteen and where all may drink from the age of eighteen, drinking has become part of our culture. To go out several nights after work with your friends for a drink is considered a way to engage in a great social life. However, this would be completely unacceptable in Islamic communities and countries. This would also be considered a terrible thing in the U.S.A, people would have started you on the twelve step programme by the time you had come back with your second round.

Obviously alcohol takes a role in the Christian church, so we consider it to be a very important. In France, drinking wine is part of the eating process, and very much a part of rural life too.
France doesn't seem to have the binge drinking problems of the UK and yet consumption is much higher per capita!
