> the US has much greater freedoms than Europe

Does it? I can't see this happening in Europe. What freedoms stand out?

Like drinking in public with an open container of alcohol.

I feel compelled to comment on this because it comes up occasionally.

We normally describe America as being prude and cite anti-nudity policies of broadcast TV. However, America pioneered modern video pornography, going far beyond any country for decades.

Similarly, while in some places you need to put your beer in a paper bag but we also have open-air drug markets and streets filled with people openly taking hardcore drugs.

I'm not sure which way you intended that. Rest assured, there's a lot of open air boozing in Northern Europe in the summertime.
