I read awhile back that while it's very common to drink wine with meals in Argentina, as well as in social gatherings, they don't understand the binge drinking that Americans do. It's easy to assume because heavy drinking is so common among young American adults that people in other countries/cultures do the same. Some do, some don't. I rarely drink, but am not against having one. But I think I'd prefer visiting places where heavy drinking isn't so prevalent.
