castanyes blaves

Random ramblings about some random stuff, and things; but more stuff than things -- all in a mesmerizing and kaleidoscopic soapbox-like flow of words.

Since admitting having a drink problem.

I wonder if "drinking problems" are considered an issue in the UK or not. Surely from by point of view, alcohol is much more centered in the UK culture than it is in the Catalan or Spanish culture. But sure enough many young fellows in Spain have drinking problems, specially during the weekends (there is a definition for "botellon" in es.wikipedia, and references in the French and German wikipedias).

It would be interesting to have some stats about how drinking is considered harmful or not in places like Poland, UK or Catalonia.

Anyone?
