Where in Germany? I find this surprising. As an American expat who has spent a lot of time in Germany, I’d agree that the German relationship with alcohol is less taboo, but Germany/UK have pretty big binging cultures. The Mediterraneans definitely do it more responsibly though.

Yes. Think about Octoberfest. It's all about drinking
Yet, the Oktoberfest is such a small and insignificant detail of our culture. It’s a big party, mostly for tourists. After those two weeks, many people I know take a monthlong abstinence, and life carries on. Binge drinking happens, but it’s definitely nothing regular.
