Don't really get pubs outside the UK. A pub is basically a place where you can sit and enjoy yourself and chat with mates. Sometimes people can get outrageously drunk.
Also in UK you can buy alcohol from 18, (and if you go to the right places younger even...). It seems totally absurd that in the USA even a 20 YO can't buy himself a drink.
- azinman2 5y agoBars exist elsewhere. It’s the same function, just positioned differently culturally. Yet many people across the US treat bars the same as they do in the UK. That said, I see way more people absolutely trashed at night walking around cities in the UK than I do the US. I’m not saying no one is trashed in the US, I’m just saying the frequency, percentage of people, and “normalcy” was way higher in the UK.
