Are you coeliac? Oh man, that must suck. All the nice bread we have and everything...

But anyways, I don't know why people always whine about the prices. Buy a €8 bottle of wine and a six-pack from LIDL for €6, it's €14 total. The price of prime beef. Of course, if you drink every day it might get expensive.

Yeah it sucks, no nice bread for me

I buy the boxes of wine, that way I don't feel obligated to drink it all in one night so it doesn't go bad

Aparently religious education in Northern Ireland is not up to scratch.

A nicer beer like Stella Artois is around 30 dollars with all taxes included at my local supermarket. That's about 1.25 a bottle. I think my local Costco might even sell it for slightly cheaper than that.
Decent beer is maybe $1.20 / bottle here. Of course you can get beer for nearly half the price, but it's garbage [for example Coors Light in a 30 pack].

It would have been obvious from our school uniforms that at least some of us were under 18, but I don't remember it ever being a problem getting served. The teachers surely must have known what was going on, but none of them ever said anything about it.
When I was in my last year of high school, we couldn't do that. We would drink in public parks at night or in people's homes while their parents were out for the evening (or didn't care). Drinking tended to be rather binge-style.

I think in my last year of high school it was a bit more common for people to be high than tipsy, though neither was common.

Amusing how the ads for Bud trying to make it stylish. Sam Adam's is the best selling beer in New England which is decent for its price.

Is less drinking by the younger generation a new trend? The American perception of Russia is that most Russian people tend to drink a lot, especially a lot of vodka. Is this perception correct, or is it at least changing with the younger generation?
