When I turned 19 I would cross the border into Canada every once in a while to drink. Also vinegar and cheese curds on fries

Usually only seniors and some juniors can buy alcohol, so how it works is the underclassmen have to pay seniors to buy their booze. I suspect if the age was 17 or 18 there would be more drinking because as it stands its a little bit of a hassle to get alcohol.
Or they get a fake ID, which vary wildly in quality. Some of them are hilariously poor forgeries.

Any of your countries have a tradition of young adults winemaking and moonshining or is that contained to the vodka belt? + Show Spoiler +

Young people make beer here Usually not hard distilled stuff

that news is exactly what i have been talking about. The students showing their youth and having a great time in cambridge they look good in that regard (with the punting and stuffs), while now it is probably easter holidays for most students so some of them do some daytime drinking openly is nothing really that 'wild' and mind you maybe these are the minority 'party animals'.
While i would say that you won't see 'real' party people do stuffs like that; they dig proper music/dj and other than drinking alcohol (pre drinks at home obviously, nobody spend alot in club lol) you see people do all kind of stuffs *cough*, there is always after party after clubbing so a 'proper' night out is like destroying your body from 8pm to 7am the next day. I don't expect that kind of nightlife in every cities but cambridge in that regard is just overly weak/tame.
I am flying to scotland soon i miss my friends now

Winemaking or fermenting sugary stuff into mash is more common then distilling but I think they are all three more common then making beer. But I hope and think that it starts to shift away from making the hard stuff as the know-how of brewing and culture of craft beer is spreading. Binge drinking is dumb.

I'm fucking bored mang, construction can be balls.
I have an excuse, the fusion plates were for the wrong machine, so we had to wait 2 hours for the right ones and now I'm waiting for the heating plate to reach temp so I can actually use it.
