Neither of my parents drink alcohol. So I guess that's why I probably won't either. I'm okay if people drink a bit though but if people get drunk or are having memory loss is just they just went way too far... Yeah don't get blackout drunk I guess that's what we call it. Never get blackout drunk that's when you act weird, pass out, complete memory loss, vomit alot. Though a few shots or a beer every now and then I think is fine. Like they say; "Drink Repsonsily" Probably wrote that terribly wrong  |

Wow, I though Canada and Europe were better in those things and it was America that had a lot of drinking/drug issues... Appently not. No matter where you go there will be those problems. No one really does this on the street here. Though people in Canada do like there beer.... |

I wish here it was up to state to decide when to drink. I say ages 20-22. So States like Nevada would probably be on 22 then...

My positive view on Europe has changed now. My 50/50 view on America hasn't changed a bit  What's your view on Canada? My view on Europe is positive and I generally think you guys are nice and Friendly unless you are French for some reason I think they are too high of themselves or too formal maybe that's just the French people in Canada though. |

My positive view on Europe has changed now. Well I'm happy to live in Europe. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying it's not as good as I originally thought. |

People will drink irresponsible anyway and many will drink even before they reach that age. People just need to be made aware of the dangers of alcohol. |

I think the only alcohol I have drinked was a glass of wine at a wedding last year it was pretty good but I'm guessing it was some of the better stuff for the occasion I kinda wanted more but I was not allowed. |

Can't really say anything about the French. I've been to France twice, one time in a small village and the other was in Paris for a schooltrip to end the year. The people in village were generally nice but very anti-social. In Paris noone cared, they just saw us like tourists wich we were ofcourse. Canada, don't know much about Canada but i have generally positive view on it so far. |

I don't see the fun in that? People force themselves to drink as much as they can because they think it's "funny and cool" And for some reason after waking up with a hangover every day they keep going and calling it "fun" What's up with that? |

Wine is nice but strong. Be careful. It was mixed with something else so it was only half wine in the glass. Which probably made it taste better or different. |

Better Education, better health care and better economy though stuff in USA is cheaper the markets are different the markets in Canada are run by the people and the government in the US it's run by mostly the people. They also have huge debt right now. The people in Canada are generally nicer as well and I don't mind the frigid cold plains of Alberta in the winter  |

Yeah scammers are everywhere but when I left the bus for the first time in Paris, about 15 people came running to us trying to sell small Eifeltowers. That's not something you'd see in the Netherlands. |

Don't get us wrong i'm sure it's all 50/50 anywhere but remember it's all about culture. As a tourist, they can clash. What you might think is rude or inapprioate can be very normal to them. With that mindset i usually go around and it helps you understand the world more. |

As the Blacks (Forgive my language) but alot of time they are seen as the drunk, drug dealing gangs around here which is very stereotypical when most just want to start a new life in wealthy countries. Though you often see them in crime reports which brings the rest of them down  |

People where shy to us on our cruise we where at St. Martin a island colony run by the Dutch and the inhabitants where very shy to us. Though it was obvious they where not as wealthy as us and there was alot of street merchants around. |
