[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] I don't ever recall saying that alcohol makes you hide from your problems. I may have said "it helps you get away from your problems", but only in the same way that, say, a good holiday can help you get away from your problems. "Get away from". Not "hide". See the difference? And the shrink thing is a bit of a joke. But what I was getting at is that maybe if the US learned to unwind a bit (by alcohol or not), then it wouldn't have so many stressed out people wanting to kill every time someone sneezes. Although, as Lee pointed out, there really isn't anywhere like that in the US. Bars seem to be treated as seedy places, where only the sad, lonely and pathetic visit. Whereas in this country, pubs are the main gathering point of most people, whether using it as a place to hang out with their friends, or using it as a launching pad for a night-out, or just a place to go and get out of the house from. In Friends and Frasier, they go to a coffee house. In Men Behaving Badly, Only Fools and Horses, and pretty much any other contempary UK sit-com, they go to the pub. [/QB][/QUOTE]
