Glasses, certainly, but regarding drugs, I don't think Europe is generally less restrictive than the US, in fact I thought it was the opposite (see e.g. the phentanyl problem).
In Spain not only you can't buy antibiotics at will, but you can't even buy 1 g paracetamol pills (you can buy 500 mg pills, though - I guess the government wants to protect people who can't add 500+500!). Some pharmacists will turn a blind eye with silly restrictions like paracetamol, though - but not all, because they might be fined if they get caught.

I know it sounds a bit absurd at first thought, but restricting the amount that can be bought at a time actually works for preventing overdosing. People are just less likely to swallow 12 500 mg tablets in one time than 6 1g tablets.
