Question by entertainment fan: I live in Scotland which is known for binge drinking?
Most of my friends get drunk regularly, and I think this is terrible. They are adults and they should know what’s going on in the world around them. They should know that binge drinking is nothing to be proud of. Yet, they still go to pubs and get drunk. Does anyone think this is strange? They don’t seem to be ashamed of themselves, contributing to shameful statistics. I think doing something like this, which you know is putting your country to shame, is abnormal.

Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments!
they are adults
Depends how old your friends are. If they are 20s or early 30s its pretty much par for the course everywhere. If they are 40 that is lame. Do you think some of them may have actual problems?
really…. i wanna move there now ;o)
Maybe strange to other countries that arent in the western civilazation but to everyone else it’s pretty common and expected.
i could not agree with you more. i have never seen anything like it until i came to britain. im afraid you are world famous for it. but it is nice to know there are nice and smart young people like yourself. :))
Scottish are known for drinking a lot.
I just bought some laphroaig… pretty good
but are they going out and drinking every night? cause if so then yes that might be a problem… but if they are doing it every weekend then I do not believe that is as much of a problem.
A good pint of hard cider & good friends, what else is there to life!
people are enjoying themselves with a drink so what,some people lead stressful lives and need a good old fashioned blow out once a week or so,so whats it matter if they make fools of there selves,live a little your self and stop trying to influence others to your boring ways.
Ok, it’s nothing to be proud of, but it doesn’t always have to be something to be ashamed of either. You don’t mention anything about them doing anything to harm or upset anyone else, so assuming that they don’t, what’s wrong with them having a few bevvies?
As far as I’m concerned, people can do whatever they want as long as they don’t hurt anyone else. I’ve had a few tonight, and the only person who will suffer is myself when I wake up with a headache. So, no, I don’t think it’s strange or shameful to my country.
Hello! i am rohit as i am student of graudation like to say u that never spoil ownself whatever other left them . When u are the best no one could make u bad.
Not just in Scotland but also England, Wales and Ireland. its more of a cultural thing. we in Scotland go out and drink for the sole reason to get wasted, and everyone thinks thats normal. where as alot of other countries people drink more moderately and sociably. I was reading an article recently actually that stated the English were infact (contrary to popular belief) the biggest drinkers in the UK.
The germans and russians are also big drinkers.
anyway f**k it. lets go get pissed
