I live in London and pre-Covid, a good chunk of people I know have drinks after work 3 days a week. I’m not trying to nit pick (I like the UK drinking culture) but it just seemed like a very Ameri-centric view from someone who hasn’t spent much/any time outside the US.

I live in Denmark, which has one of the highest rates of alcohol consumption among young people in the EU and almost the same overall as the UK but without the pub culture you guys have. Most of our social consumption is the unhealthy heavy drinking party kind. But this is raw amount consumed and you yourself said you like the drinking culture (I wish we had it here). I'm talking about people drinking to cope. Going to a pub 3 days a week and drinking alone at home after work to cope with stress etc. is very different.
