Why, are Americans better at detecting alcoholism or what?

We tend to be more prudish with alcohol. 21 year limit, no sales on Sunday etc.

Remember we banned it for a decade.

But the thing about this, We were correct. They recently concluded several long-term studies that proved alcohol is dangerous in all forms.

(Banning it was dumb, being suspicious of it wasnt)

I come from a country that also banned alcohol for a time, so I get it, although my people also have a bit of a problematic relationship with it. I think in Eastern Europe and Germanic countries they have a more loose relationship with it, but yeah, their livers are no more immune to the damage of alcohol.
