Is it that Brits drink a lot or that SV nerds drink very little?
- abarwick 3y ago&&
- plugger 3y agoprobably both
- tayo42 3y agocalifornia in general seems to not drink that much. or just the circles i end up in. lots of smokers, vapers and edible eaters i guess
- extragood 3y agoIronically, I remember reading an article in the SF Chronicle declaring us the best read drunks in the late '90s/early '00s. We were spending more on books and booze than anyone at the time, though that may have changed
- selimthegrim 3y agoNew Orleans has entered the chat.

- yieldcrv 3y agolast weekend here in LA, someone told me they dont drink alcohol, and the weirdest part was that they felt compelled to explain why. they must be new here
- rcpt 3y agoI mean, it's pretty inconvenient when you have to spend 20min on the freeway to go out
- jansan 3y agoCan you explain in a few words what "edible eaters" are?
- mardifoufs 3y agoTHC edibles I think
- tayo42 3y agoYeah this, all weed stuff I mentioned
- astrange 3y agoBrits drink a lot and Californians instead smoke or go hiking.
- sosodev 3y agosmoke and go hiking
- forgotusername6 3y agoYesterday I, a Brit, hiked 25km with the finish line at the pub. Hiking and drinking is not incompatible at all.
- automatic6131 3y ago>hike >10km and finish at the pub This is the way
- doix 3y agoThe best hikes are the ones that end at a pub :). There's something magical about that first beer after a long hike that makes even the cheapest/worst lager enjoyable.
- saiya-jin 3y agoIt can be ski tour, climb, and probably many more activities. After almost every climb with my buddy we go to some mcdonalds - in general I think very little of the company, but being tired from hard workout makes even junk food taste great. They have these small Heineken cans, I wouldn't normally drink that stuff even if it was for free, but after a good climb or whatever, its the best beer in the world.
- offices 3y agoMultiple colleagues here in the UK have told me stories about spending time working with Americans and realising their drinking habits around work made them look like alcoholics to the Americans. It's going away with younger generations.
- nemo44x 3y agoThe UK has incredible hiking. All the rambling trails connecting everything are amazing. As bad there is something magical when you’re hiking around and a small country pub pops up.
