Probably also doesn't hurt that the US is generally far more reliant on driving to get anywhere. There's a higher tolerance for doing it dangerously since there's no alternative
When I suggest taking drivers licenses away, my fellow Americans act like I'm suggesting the death penalty.

Edit: tangent point the above image in the post reminded me of.
For every person who thinks they're interesting for hating a popular thing, there's ten who will be like OMG YOU THINK YOURE SO SPECIAL AND BETTER THAN EVERYONE when you casually mention you don't particularly care for a popular thing.

Yeah. You're not gonna find many Swedes getting behind the wheel regardless of alcohol amount. There used to be a HARD stigma against it, since we know what happens. People used to get so drunk that we had to create a state monopoly of alcohol sales, in an attempt to reduce it. People argue about the actual effect, but i know that it's cultural suicide to get behind the wheel drunk.
The legal limit is 0,2 ppm alcohol.The Danes however... They could drink 3 halfliter lagers before reaching the legal limit of 0,8
Danish limit is 0,5 like most of Europe. Most people here have a rule of thumb of 2 regular beers.

It's fine to hate popular things, but don't ruin other people's fun.
Also: don't drunk drive.

I used to live way outside of town and there weren't any night buses on weekdays, so I got a moped at 15. I just didn't drink at all when I hung out with friends on weekdays, even when I turned 16 and it became legal, because I had to drive. It wasn't hard to do and nobody batted an eye. So, the alternative is not drinking. Having no alternative transport is a poor excuse for drunk driving.

in my experience, culturally, drinking one (1) 4.8% ABV 33ml can of beer in Europe is drunk driving
Drinking two (2) 6.2% ABV fl oz (946ml total) glasses of beer and smoking weed in the USA is not drunk driving.
Not defending it, just saying that it was eye opening how many people in the US get behind the wheel after drinking what they consider a small amount of alcohol

Legally speaking in the USA anything after the first is driving while intoxicated/under the influence (different states use DWI or DUI).
Working in the booze biz you are sadly correct though. I had a wine rep a few years back offer to pay for my parking in NYC if I went to a tasting. I told him I was taking the train and he was surprised. He shouldn’t be.
You really don't need to swallow at a wine tasting. In fact you'll be able to taste a lot more without starting to affect your judgment if you don't.

Is there a pro drunk driving crowd?
ATV enthusiasts?

To be fair, garth brooks is for people with questionable taste. If the person making the music ISN'T inbred, I don't want to hear it.
Garth Brooks was my personal Jesus (aside from Jesus) as a southern tween/teen, but I still have several bones to pick with him, among them Chris Gaines/The Lamb and a particular Walmart-exclusive concert at which I was the only attendee in my little town, making me feel even more like a total ass. Oh, and this. Yeeeeeah. But deep down I'm still pretty sure I'm gonna be in his band one day. And then usurp him as the new Garth.

That doesn't make you more interesting but it doesn't make you any less interesting either! Huzzah!
PS: which would you say is the best Fallout game and why is it New Vegas?

I think this is more for the random person that attacks people for being fans of things eg adults attacking adults because they like Legos
Spoken like a true Lego lass

This is so true. For example, Werner Herzog hates the French language, despite speaking it fluently. He once had to regrettably speak French when he was held at gun point by drunk child soldiers in Africa.
Pretty uninteresting guy, I'd say.

Fun fact you can get a DUI on a bike!
