I saw just as many, if not more, drunken teenagers in Europe as I do in the US, the only difference, is that their drunkenness is legal. I spent months over there, and the daily custom for those I worked with , was to go to the pub and drink their lunch - and then nothing got done int he afternoon. Getting plastered is not just limited to the US.
