No one over the age of thirty should brag about what – or how much – they drink.

I can’t tell you how much I agree with this. That, plus the 30+ crowd talking about how they’re going out to get drunk because they’ve had a tough week. Way to cope people.

Yes – it’s how it’s framed, as a treat that’s been earned that I find boggling given everything we know about our alcohol culture. At the least, just don’t be proud.

The sad thing is that in Australia almost everything involves alcohol and although young people think they drink to be sociable, they really drink to get drunk. But it seems to me that after 30 they tend to settle down and only the “the lost” keep up the heavy drinking. There are a lot of lost in Australia.

Honestly, that sounds much like the U.S. Our culture is built around drinking and heavily promoted. I think most people call their drinking social drinking but that doesn’t necessarily describe its true role in their life. And unlike many other substances – it’s legal! Cheap!

..unless it’s single malt scotch, aged 18 years or more. 🙂

Yes but if you are drinking 18 year Old Single Malt, there is every likelihood that it is a “social”setting. I drink 22 YO Glenmorangie from time to time and not many young people are that selective in their tastes.
