Scottish worse for drink culture than us?
Bottle_of_Smoke
Whenever I click on Scotland on bbc.co.uk there's always something about drinking levels, or underage drinking levels or price restriction plans etc etc.
Wales and England not the same. Might be more booze related stuff on the Northern Ireland page but I guess they only have so much space left after they finish the articles on daily petty arguments in Stormont.
So us paddys are world renowned for being massive boozers, are the scottish actually worse, or the same?
Anyone lived there? experiences?

Funny how certain non nationals drink in the morning are bladdered all weekend and most of the weekdays in the evenings.And they are not said to be big drinkers.Because majority of their drink before they go out is drunk at home.And the fighting that goes on in the streets because of their drinking is unbelievable in their countries.Check out youtube.
No one country is bigger drinkers then the rest.Its just more noted because of the stupid stereo typing of the Irish and the Scot's and the Brits.What country has national drinking day in honour of their beer.
How many Irish you know drink daily.I know alot alot of non nationals who do.

It depends on the area of Scotland. I lived in Edinburgh for a year and never saw anything like the sort of drunken behaviour you see all the time in Dublin (well, apart from during the Fringe!), despite booze being much cheaper in Scotland.
However, any time I went through to Glasgow for a gig, the difference is marked! Put it this way, I wouldn't feel safe walking round Glasgow city centre on my own at chucking out time.

By viciously cracking down on any public drunkenness, simple really.
While still allowing people to drink what they want at home? How would this help people's health?
