I've worked blue-collar jobs - mostly construction and railroad - both in the US and Germany and what amazed me is that in Germany it was customary to drink beer with lunch and during the afternoon break. We drank beer right on the construction site. In the US, I would have been fired for drinking even one beer during lunch.

I'm sure more drinking goes on among the US white collar crowd during lunch (martini lunch) but the blue-collar crowd waits until after work to get blind drunk (makes up for it)

I've heard that inhaling alcohol has caught on in the UK. Have you heard of that? The alcohol goes straight into the bloodstream without the ill-effects of drinking it.
