Alex from Bookfail.com  - Less than a 100 years ago we were all black.   |68.163.168.xxx |2009-07-11 02:51:57 One of the ironies present in this map is that US soldiers, who are often 18, 19 and 20 years old, and thus not old enough to drink at home, are fighting for the "freedoms" of a country that, in this case, has more freedom to begin with.

Sam  - Hmm.   |75.92.181.xxx |2009-08-13 02:36:08 I notice some strange stuff here - the most notorious problem-drinking nations are also the ones with higher drinking ages. For example, the French and Germans drink plenty of wine and beer but they don't have the same problems with rampant binge drinking that the Americans, English, Irish and Russians do... and they have drinking ages set so that your first drink is had at home, with your parents. The binge drinking countries seem to set their drinking ages such that your first drink happens after you leave home, where your peers show you the ropes... not smart, it seems to me.
