I thought we did it big in NY and the US for that matter, but I'm considering England next year...

I don't wish to question your nations capacity for drinking, but in my experience the only people in the US who can go at it to the same degree, frequency and regularity as the "Great British Public" are bums and winos.
NB: I can't decide at this point whether this post will inspire wrath and contempt from the Brits, the Americans, or just a random Autralian homosexual who just wants to say something spiteful for the practice.

It's the dreary weather what makes them drink so.

I really wish we didn't have such a binge drinking culture here. It's fine getting merry and enjoying several drinks but the problem over here seems to be a lot of people simply keep going.
It's fucking horrible having to get home when pubs and clubs finish for the night and you have to negotiate your way past pools of puke and people fighting.

People will think I am a horrible person for this, but...
I don't like alcohol.

I've never thought of Americans as being particularly hardcore when it comes to intoxication - though I've met a few Canadians who could give us Brits a run for our money.
Not to say I'm proud - but heck, with our Empire, pride, sense of nationhood and hope gone, every little victory helps.

i'd be very surprised if americans were even aware that places like where i live exist - complete and utter sh*tholes.
you cant go out past 6 o'clock in the evening because you'd be coming home in a bag. the alkies and drug addicts are everywhere. people that'll shoot you for a bag of crisps or lock you in a burning house because you looked at the wrong (both of which happened on new years eve.)
- cause there is no place like that in the U.S. and stuff....

I cannot even have someone as a distant friend who demonstrates and ongoing aversion to getting a round in once in a while. If someone's broke, fair play, I'll stand them some drinks if they are upfront about it. But fuckers who dodge it are low dogs.
I say that like I'm Barry Boozer, off up the pub every night... my boozing days are behind me.

I've become a wuss since coming over to the US. I used to be pished Thurs-Sun but now I'm lucky if I can finish more than eight beers in one night Fri & Sat (at home - I don't have much opportunity to go out nowadays, various reasons).
I suppose that's a good thing though...

Every now and again though it's good to have a mental bender. I make it my priority to be the last man standing.

I believe there's a correlation between british binge drinking and the need to have beer goggles to reproduce.

you Brits don't get a chance to practice drinking nearly enough, since all your bars close at 11pm.
