Missing the point entirely, I see.
The point is the europe apartment doesn't need survivalist style storage because it's close to stores. I could have said Mars bars or steaks but the OP post was about a beer fridge so I went along with it.
- bluGill 3y agoOnce again, most in the US are only 5 minutes drive from a store. We still have that extra storage despite being that close.
- sillyfluke 3y agoI was quietly chuckling as I was reading the discussion veer off toward the finer implications the legal limit for driving in the USA has on beer acquistion -- the original frame of reference of the example being so foreign to the commenters as to cause them to miss the intent of the example that was probably immediately obvious to most european residents. A while back someone here made a great point about why Americans love to take vacations to European cities. It triggers a nostalgic wave in them bringing up warm feelings they had the last and possibly only time they lived in a community that they could explore and enjoy simply by walking and biking around. You know, that wonderful time when they lived....on a college campus. The reason why there is little room for storage in the those tiny european apartments is the same reason you didn't have a huge fridge in your dorm room in college. And in many of those places you can walk around with a beer in your hand in public. Yes, that's right -- just like college. Outside college, car culture in the US encourages stocking up habits which in turn encourages the search for more storage space.

- watwut 3y agoI just find the notion of "being too drunk to be able to buy another beer while not being too drunk to drive".
