There’s literally a body of academic research dedicated to studying drinking culture and how it varies within and between nations. The researchers in that field would be surprised to hear this take!No it's not culture. If drinking was a culture it would be to one specific place only. It is a massive ISSUE in the UK, the same way it is in any other country. People just think it's worse in the UK because they are from there and that's what they know best. If people make others feel weird for not drinking then they are sad. And the person feeling weird should say a massive duck you to them.
