Not that it matters, since our unis are better than American's. It doesn't matter if they teach you less, simply saying that "I went to an English university" will get you any job you want in the US, from McDonalds manager to ruler of everything.<br /><br />Americans cope with this by inventing bullshit reasons as to why drinking is only done by losers. They therefore create the big extremist opinions on drinking that they do with everything from politics to religion, ruining any chance of reasonable debate on the subject.<br /><br />Most obvious thing to point out: In some US states you can have sex at 14. Legally, you can <i>create a life</i> 7 years before you can drink champagne to celebrate it.<br /><br />If you want to partake in other alcohol related topics, why not try the flameboard?
