A comment on “How Americans edit sex out of my writing”. Parent comment
He had heard that Americans don’t let children drink alcohol. That sounded puritanical.
When he arrived in the US, and saw people drinking more alcohol in one night than they drank in a year back home (this was hyperbole).
I’d drink with him. One shot of rum a night - no more, no less.
Americans aren’t one shot drinkers. We drink too much. And so do many Europeans.
