Because altering your mental state using a chemical for any reason that is not directly related to saving your life or alleviating pain caused by a real medical condition is bad. Mmmkay?

I'm not talking about binge drinking. But having a glass of wine with dinner, or a beer is widely accepted throughout Europe yet staunchly frowned upon in most of North America. Just find the cultural difference odd. |

That of course doesn't explain why NA has a problem with it, just the difference in the mindset of Euros to Americans. |

Hmmm....didn't know that but it would make sense I suppose. When I was in Germany a tour guide told us all about how beer there is considered a food so employers can't stop you from drinking on the job and it's perfectly okay to drink at lunch. ![]() |

One problem with Europe or at least parts of it is serving warm beer...that would stop me from drinking it right there.

![]() I don't drink Cask ale so I wouldn't know. *edited* I guess this is the suggested temps for beer and when I said room temperature it was based on what I was told by a friend that just got back from France and was staying in a hotel near the France/Belgium border. ![]() Wheat beers and pale lagers at fridge temperature, 45-50°F (7-10°C) Pale ales, English bitter, amber ales or dark lagers at 50-55°F (10-13°C) Belgian ales, barley wines and similar strong beers at around 55°F (13°C) Porters, stouts and other dark ales at 55-60° F (13-15°C) Some of the stronger Belgian beers should be served close to room temperature Last edited by z06boy; 11-17-2009 at 11:33 AM.. |

They're not served at room temperature. It's just not as cold as a 'cold beer' to you.
