Really? It's illegal in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Brunei, parts of India, Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Yemen.
Surely you can see some variation between different regions of the world.

That's exactly his point. It may be commonplace in Spain or France, but not in the Netherlands or Denmark. So absolutely not all of Europe.

Where in Europe would the reaction be anywhere near as negative as in the countries listed above?
That's about as meaningful as saying that having a glass of wine or beer with lunch is normal in all countries in the world. Europe is not one homogeneous culture; even at the country-level you'll see huge discrepancies between regions.
Drinking during the lunch on a working day is rare in the Netherlands (it's certainly not condoned at the office).
