Eh, I've spent a great deal of time in Norway, the UK and France. The UK and Norway are just as bad in terms of "problem" drinking in my experience. France seems to have it more under control but there are still plenty of drunk people roaming around in public after 6pm. If anything I'd say we're quicker to label drinking "a problem" here in the US than elsewhere - even though the drink amounts and resulting behavior are the same. YMMV I guess, but this seems like a lot of other articles I've seen lately that "throw shade" at America while ignoring the same issues elsewhere.
