saw a few people drinking in public in Prague, most either were young or looked poor. Got the impression it was a bit frowned upon even if legal

Very well could be. Being "frowned upon" wouldn't keep me from drinking on the street though.

You can't? Wtf.

I don't drink so I had no idea. That just seems odd.

Melbourne CBD outlaws it kek. Where I live you can, which is very evident by the thousands of empty beer bottles in nearby parks (probably the reason for banning it)

I can understand the rationale behind it - it's not just the litter aspect, but being around people who are very evidently drunk can be annoying, even intimidating depending on how they're behaving. Alcohol is responsible for a huge amount of violence in the UK, probably a majority of it. Police here have even argued against the council giving licenses to more bars because of a surge in alcohol-related assaults.

Yeah, we have a major binge drinking culture in the UK. People carrying glasses and bottles full of beer around the street would be asking for trouble.

Drinking alcohol while walking through the streets is not seen as socially acceptable, but you can drink outside in beer gardens.

Here now it is becoming common to have some kind of drinking restriction in the summer time (May to late october...) to avoid people sitting outside with drinks in the street and most squares. Technically the authorities forbid small grocery stores to sell alcohol after 10 pm, and if they do the receive a fine. Obviously they do it outside of downtown, usually in the less wealthy neighborhoods, i.e. where there are mostly students and immigrants. Of course it is not forbidden to drink a bottle of wine at a fancy restaurant downtown, but strangely, having a beer outside a grocery store is not considered ok anymore. I guess this has to do with the rise of tourism here ?

Also, a few days ago in Turin the police came to hit people with sticks outside a bar for no actual reason, sending a few people at the hospital in the process. I don't know why Italy is suddenly starting to look like France, but even worse:

At university, I had a ''drug chemistry'' lesson. That lesson was in English language. I was the only one in the class who was able to speak English with the teacher. A lot of students don't give a damn about learning English.
