Having a large brit population here and having served many british tourist over the last decade, why are the brits so obsessed with getting pissed ? They can't wait for the weekend to hit the pubs and get totally zonked ?
And if you don't like turing your liver into cement or god forbid don't drink at all, then your a party pooper and a major drag. Very hard to socialize with the brits in that sense.
I just find it really weird.
Oh and the Irish, I had repeats clients from a tour company in Ireland ( They loved the 80's pop in my car

), forgot the name One something or the other. They were a blast even when drunk on the way back they were fun. The brits just seem to get obnoxious when drunk. before than they were pretty nice folk on the way in.
