Not all countries have a binge drinking culture that they are introduced to in their teens like Canada, the UK, the US, Australia, etc. where it's celebrated for young people to get totally intoxicated. In many countries, you have a couple of social drinks - even gasp at lunch or in public - and it's not a problem. Being falling down drunk isn't considered 'cool' - it's pathetic and embarrassing. Drinking isn't a competition to see how much you can consume before you either lose consciousness, make idiotic decisions, or start street fights. That said, I absolutely see no problem with drinking in parks or in public and this works fine in Montreal. We have laws already for public drunkenness. We don't need a nanny state.
