I'm not talking about binge drinking. But having a glass of wine with dinner, or a beer is widely accepted throughout Europe yet staunchly frowned upon in most of North America. Just find the cultural difference odd.

I always understood that the difference was in Europe they don't(or at least used to not) have a good way to filter water so they would ferment things to kill the bacteria or whatever. That's why it is so normal there because water wasn't safe to drink.
That of course doesn't explain why NA has a problem with it, just the difference in the mindset of Euros to Americans.
