I don’t think France has a particularly healthy drinking culture. It’s worth pointing out that France has a far higher rate of alcohol deaths than the US, France has around 41K/year and the US 95K/year, which is shocking given the 5x population difference. Even if we assume there are accounting differences, France has a way higher rate of abuse at the extreme end (and thus likely indicates a higher rate of abuse more broadly)
