A wise comedian once said “5 glasses of wine in America your considered an alcoholic. 5 glasses of wine in England or Ireland or anywhere in the British isles. You’re the designated driver

AHAHAHAA
American's- "awww look at me chug this Smirnoff ice, I'm so drunk"
Brits- "Right lads, just gonna chug this litre of vodka for pre's, then we'll head out to a club and spend £100 on more drink"
No one ever out drank me in the UK and I've been here for 11 years...yall are pussies in this

“The first time I got really drunk was around 17/18”
Me, an average Brit, thinking of how I got shitfaced at 14: yeah, honestly same
I WAS ABOUT TO SAY wtf 17/18??? I was 12-
American and my first time was at 12
Mine was at 10 because of my dad 🥴😂
Isn’t that illegal?

It do be true
Yes! We definitely take the title in this video
gracelet but the title is Vs
But we’re better at crack
Mate, compared to Americans. The British way of drinking is legit "Go hard or go home"
Our "casual" drinking is the americans go hard or go home
Still can’t believe when I visited america there were lads there getting pissed of a pint or 2

ginger psycho literally

Is noone gonna talk about groups of 13 year old getting pissed and/or stoned in the park being a really common thing to see in the UK??
7 teenagers getting drunk on 1 litre of WKD blue... glad I missed those days, I was firmly frosty Jack in the park, if we could afford it we made it taste better with the cheapest vodka we could find

Everyone forgets that by the time americans can legally drink we've had like ten years experience drinking.
Bordiga Armchair well basically you can legally drink at the age of 5 at home with parents watching so five-year-old can drink and you can legally drink out at 16 but can’t buy a drink till your 18
Bordiga Armchair yes. What’s your point?
@Bordiga Armchair I know people who started at 11 or in primary. But in fairness it was a council estate in a bad area. Still most start year 7 or 8
@Bordiga Armchair Since when is Hackney the worst in the UK? But fair enough.
Bordiga Armchair yehh my friend lives near Leeds/Wakefield, very rough area, kids are drinking and smoking weed at age 11-12. Not all of them thank god but certain groups. It’s nuts
Allowed to drive with 16 but not allowed to drink under 21.. never understood that
What shocks me even more is that they are legally allowed to have sex as an adult at 18 but they can't drink until 21.
Think they can vote by 18 also
Tracy Ndlovu well it isn’t up to us lmfao and a lot of us at age 16+ illegally drink regardless of the law or we get fake i.ds (:
@@Selena-rs5yi I know. As an outsider it just shocks me that's all. You're adult enough to vote but not drink alcohol. Even getting a fake ID is just shocking to me.
But as an African, we have traditional beer (brewed at home by granny) which we start drinking before we can even walk or talk. LOL
@@tracyndlovu9717 It was to cut back on drunk driving fatalities in the 70's that they changed the law to make it less accessible to young driver's
Can drive at 14 in some states
At the start I thaught the British guy wld let us down, but it turned out he knew his stuff. Nice.
us btit ar better drinkers end of story
Just sad he called it 'journey juice' instead of tinnies and travel bevvies.
Like the way he didn’t bring up 12-13 year olds getting paralytic in a park llf 🥴😂🇬🇧
I remember doing that, 17yrs ago drinking frosty jacks in the park, waking up in a field 🤣
this taught me why americans always run out of the party when the police turn up in films
That's so jokes 😭😂😂
Can’t forget the chant: we love to drink with Ben, cause Ben is our mate, when we drink with Ben, he gets it down in 87654321

American: “I just can’t imagine drinking this much alchahol in one thing”
Brit: “welp here we go!”

But you’re basically correct.
@@nick260682 Is that why the most impressive beer in Europe doesn't come from England?
Mark Ronson
No, that would be an irrelevant point.
What’s this “impressive beer”?
Everyone copies English beers. All the IPAs everyone is brewing round the world currently is an English style beer.
As and Irish person I'd like to say we're the stronger drinkers it's what I like to call the closed the pub so we cleared the alcohol shelfs
Scotland holds the title of drinking champions
They didn’t discuss that Americans can’t handle their alcohol
They needed someone from Wisconsin to do this.
Lol I beg to differ I heard y’all have to have ambulances on stand by
Rhion but what you don’t understand is that is after an inhuman amount of alcohol, or in terms you can understand about 40 drinks all differing in strengths and sizes

UK not even close.
WI US: 2018 per capita beer consumption: 33.6 gallons. (127 liters)
UK: The latest available data estimates total alcohol consumption in the UK at 9.5 litres per person aged 15 years and older and 7.8 litres per person on average throughout the entire population in 2015.
When he said he got drunk at “maybe 17, 18”. I was thinking well “I got wasted when I was 11 yrs old becuz my mum put 8-10% alcohol Sherry (Spirit) in the Sherry Trifle she made for the summer garden party for my dad’s birthday” LMAO. Yh don’t give an 11yr old who hasn’t ever drunk alcohol before a strong alcoholic dessert, I got wasted/ plastered within an house and my dad couldn’t stop laughing about it. He brung it up at my 18th Bday party. LMAO. 🤣😂🤣😅🤧🙏🏼~.
You were drunk from Sherry trifle? I was a lot younger than you were and alcoholic desserts and chocolate didn’t affect me.
Be quiet.

I got black out at about 12 on holiday was grabbing shots of this family my family was speaking to even jumped over the bar grabbed a bottle of wine chugged abit and put it back down bar guy just laughed 😂
9:02. Under-age drinking gets you jail time/ HAHHAHAHAH. I snorted 3 lines of dizz in the club toilets at Leeds. Headbutted some guy, got punched in the stomach, went hospital, nearly overdosed. Left 8 hours after without a slap on the wrist. I feel bad for these Americans

Drinking age in the UK is:
Legally drinking at home - 5
Legally drinking with a meal at a pub - 16
Legal age of purchase - 18
At 5, that seems a bit young to me.
And I am German XD
@@timomueller3021 parental guidance though haha
Nightshade Gaming is it not 14 for a pint etc. with a meal? Maybe it's gone up since I was 14 😊
Eta. I looked it up; used to be 14, changed in 2005 so 16 now, as you say.
@@FastMonkeyBluePants it was when I was 14 but the .gov site says 16 so they probably have put it up
@@nightshadegaming1735 and it is only 16 with licence holder's permission. Pub /restaurant landlord has to give express permission, as it still potentially affects their licence
The below was written on cards handed out to American troops, department of Defence which read
"DO NOT drink with the British troops"
"DO NOT gamble with the British troops"
"DO NOT fight with the British troops"
"YOU WILL LOSE."
Sometimes Americans make smart choices.
Most white Americans already are Brits, Germans, French and Dutch
Wonderland no, they’re of that descent, they are American
I've seen an american diplomat showing me this written on a card.
should be british people
"The old ball and chain", that's your wife, not drinking 🤣
I'm English.
My mother let me drink. Under her supervision since I was young because she didn't want me to be that one person who needed to have their stomach pumped. 🤣🤣🤣
When he was explaining how locked down their alcohol is in America, all I could think was ‘and yet they sell guns in supermarkets’
I know, it's absolutely crazy right?
But many of them just don't see it...
Don't put toys in sweets or food either, it could hurt the children. Those evil Kinder Eggs.
Uk supermarkets could sell guns too if they wanted and got permission
Well you don’t want both guns and alcohol to be readily accessible lol
That was one state most you can get beer from anywhere
K L no they couldn’t
When ever someone calls America the land of the free I just cringe
Land of the fee
Every one does 🤣🤣🤣
I’m an American and I hate it myself 💀 Like we fucking stole half of our land. Our history is fucked up.
Haha home of the free? Get locked up for really minor stuff over there dont they? Should be called land of the incarcerated for carrying a gram of green 😂
Home of the deranged.
The American didn’t even know how to shotgun a beer, he told him to puncture it in the middle of the can
"When he said land of the free" I burst out laughing coz everyone in the world knows that's no true
Actually yes it is. There's real history behind it. America is the oldest Democracy in the post-Enlightenment age. The US' Bill of Rights is still one of the most explicit legal documents on Planet Earth in terms of the rights it delineates to its constituent citizens. Real talk.
As a brit. Im 16 and I've been to many parties. First time drunk I was 13. I didnt realise drinking underage was such a big deal in the US
I'm pretty sure 16 is legal aslong as you've got supervision
You can on private property from age of 5
@@forgetagain8433 its legal as long as you drink in somewhere that isn't public and with a meal. And obviously you can't drink things with high alcohol content. Just cider, wine etc
Yeah it depends which state as well. It’s 21 everywhere but there are rules like in some states you can drink under 21 with adult supervision in your home.
joel smyth nobody in Britain cares about if it’s allowed you get caught u run and hop u don’t get slammed in the crime stoppers van

That beer bong in the uk would get abused and everyone would be spiking it while your chugging it lmao
Nathan McGuinness never thought Of it that way but yes it so would
It's bad enough just with a regular glass. How many of us have had never ending cups in our life time.of.parties?
im from the UK and have used them, we used to use it for jagerbombs. plus that was a tiny one compared to the one we used.
Yeah, everytime I have been somewhere that a beer bong comes out, everyone pours any drink they can find into it. And it often gets topped up whilst trying to down it.
None of this one drink nonsense.
You’d be chugging it while your best mate is just mixing it with vodka, but your chugging too fast to notice.
i love how everyone just forgot about that one law in britain that says that children aged 5 and over can have some alcohol (like a couple of sips) if you’re in a property your guardian(s) own and you’re in their supervision
OR: everyone in britain started drinking at aged 5 at least cuz of a law that says we can but cuz we’re all little shits we started drinking at 3
_v01d_ exactly lmao
Also I swear there's a law that says if you're 16 you can have wine or beer with a meal in a restaurant
Joe S i think? there might be something about that somewhere but i only know for certain about it being in your guardians property
@Joe S No law is in isolation, there are other laws. If you let a child get drunk or drink regularly you are correctly going to get charged and go to court at least, and face prison/losing child.
Joe S private property
Russia: “amateurs”
Да!
Aaaaa the parkkkkk that’s such a good tradition, so many memories of falling off swings n waking up in bushes 😭 drunk walks with friends are the best
Legally in the UK, you can start drinking with your parents consent at 5 years old.
Funny story, the first time I was drunk was at my half sister's wedding...when I was 5 years old. I love my mum and dad
Yep, first alcohol I tried was at 5 years old and it was Guinness... descostang
It is for taking a sip of something that happens to have alcohol in, other laws mean you can't just be drinking at age 5 with your parents at home.
wyterabitt You can. You can legally drink alcohol, inside your home, with your parents’ permission, from the age of 5.
I mean, there’s literally no way to stop that. The parents have allowed it in that circumstance so it’s not like they’re going to call the police on themselves.
@@nelliesnose5648 You don't seem to understand, if you let a child regularly drink or get drunk that would be bad.
People seem to think that laws work in isolation and that there is nothing to it, it reminds me when people found out about old laws such as being able to shoot a Scotsman in certain cities that were still genuinely on the books. It doesn't matter though, other laws prevent it in spite of that being a genuine law.
If a child took a sip of a drink here and there, or had a just barely alcoholic drink with a tiny bit of alcohol then yes no other law would get in the way of the "allowed at age 5" law. If you allow a child to be drinking like an adult and getting drunk, you are getting arrested, you are going to court, and you are facing at least the possibility of prison/losing the child - and rightly so.
The excuse that nobody will find out doesn't change what is legal. If you shoplift and get away with it, it doesn't mean what you did was legal!!
wyterabitt I’m not an idiot. I’m fully aware of the fact that laws on their own are not set in stone - there are branches off of them in every direction.
Other than that, I’m afraid you’re just incorrect.
It is illegal for anyone under 18 to buy alcohol, as the both of us probably know.
But it is legal for anyone over the age of 5 to drink alcohol of any volume.
The only arguments against this are moral, or health and safety ones. Any pub landlord is allowed to stop a parent from giving their under-18 alcohol on the premises. Police possess the power to confiscate alcohol from an under-18 in a public area. Note ‘confiscate’, it is merely that.
Along-sides this, CMO (medical officers) advise parents against allowing their under-18 to drink alcohol. They claim it is better for their health. They believe an ‘alcohol-free childhood’ is the healthiest, and believe if a parent should wish to give their child alcohol, they should be at least 15. This is all advice, however, and nothing to do with the law.
The police have the power to charge 18+ who are known to be giving alcohol to those _under_ the legal drinking age. Five.
Are you really British if you haven’t got pissed in the middle of the park or a field ??
@Ginger ive corrected it for you haha 😂
Sesh time
Best times tbh
Park and field are starting places.
And waited outside of a shop with your mates with saved up dinner money asking passers-by if they go in shop for you for a bottle of vodkat
who says no one does a yard of ale?! it’s not like you’ll see someone drinking one every night but it’s not like it doesn’t happen ;(
Americans do this thing called 'icing' where you surprise someone with a Smirnoff ice and they have to down it
In the UK, Smirnoff ice is like pre pres
smirnoff ice here in the uk is literally no different to drinking juice
My mum used to pack that for school lunch when we ran out of fruit shoot
It's literally treated like pop here. You drink that as your straight up first drink maybe
Smirnoff ice is what u give the kids at party’s
And then there's the teens in Scotland who have to accompany friends to the hospital at 14/15 y/o to get their stomachs pumped (whilst trying to act as sober as possible)
happens at least 5 times a year in my small town
Now there's a throwback!
Raigmore hospital and the walk of shame home... "Who is on hospital duty this week?" For that one person who went too far again.
Can't believe they didn't cover pubs
Davida ME or drinking games!
Have a cold pint at the Winchester and wait for all this to blow over! 👍

Dom Brouder Are you dense
Should have definitely got either, someone from Yorkshire, Manchester, Newcastle or Glasgow for this one 😂 poor bloke wouldn’t have been able to understand them mind, but that would have been some real drinking going on

US is where ammunition is more accessible than spirits
Where drinking more than three glasses of wine at a party and people start giving you cards for the Betty Ford clinic. But if you own 150 assault rifles, no one bats an eyelid. FUCK! But did they take a wrong turn after the revolution.
Customer: "Can I have some armour piercing bullets for my assault rifle please?"
Shop keeper: "Sure, anything else?
Customer: "Yes, can I have a Kinder egg please?"
Shop keeper: "Err, just wait there whilst I call the police and have you arrested!"
@@SvenTviking It is almost like we could aim for not having an idiotic attitude to alcohol and guns at the same time and not choose one or the other to laugh at casually being a problem.

Question, do Americans also use the term “broke the seal”?
I’m sure people who drink will understand this.
Once you brake the seal that's it

He did that beer can stab thing well though!
For someone who talked like an American with raised inflection at the end of every statement, he made us Brits proud by not even showing signs of bother about being showered in beer foam!

I mean technically 18 is only the legal age for buying alcohol. You can drink (with consent from parents) from 5.
It's 16 if you drink anything apart from spirits in a public place with a meal, provided you're with someone 18+.
@@ajs41 you can drink at home with parental consent much younger. But you're right, in public with a meal it's 16
@@rhiannonm6022 Most people don't know about that rule. I didn't when I was 16.
I didn’t learn anything I didn’t know.
1. Us brits are pro drinkers and drink like alcoholics.
2. Americans are terrible drinkers. After I seen a video of college kids downing Smirnoff ice’s and getting wrecked nothing will change my mind.
The Yanks are pretty hardcore too. I go to uni in Britain but spent a semester in America and I can tell the American uni parties are way more lit in terms of they're organised. In terms of alcohol drinking they're quite similar. What the Brits excell at however is bringing coke, ket and md everywhere.
I think you're underestimating Americans, especially college kids/ people in their early 20s.
Nicole3900 What your collage kids are doing at 21 kids in the UK are doing at 16 at house parties. I’m not saying Americans can’t drink but we’re on a different level. Big reason apart from tourist stuff to why you lot travel around Europe. Stronger alcohol, better parties and more wild.
산 테리 Yeah I’m by all means not saying you lot can’t drink I’m just saying we’re on a completely different level. Same with many countries in Europe. I feel like we handle alcohol better.
And you're proud of your alcoholism??
“the first time i got drunk was like 17 or 18” i was 15 when i first got like falling on the floor drunk and my brother was 12 lol, also can’t imagine not being 15/16 and having a group of people pissed in a field

In my first year of uni the entire top floor of my accommodation building was filled with Americans that came on a football scholarship (soccer for the yanks) and honestly how little they could hold their drink was hilarious, thered be a group of 4 americans sharing a bottle of vodka and getting annihilated and english students showing up with a bottle each. It did make for some fun parties though ngl 😂
UK drinking age is, 5 in homes, 16 if with adult and with meal in pub, 18 whenever
That must have changed recently, because in 2004 you could legally have a drink with a meal aged 14
I cannot imagine not being able to drink outside, that's so sad

I was around 14/15. Used to camp out in my garden with my mate who visited me every now and then back then, and we used to do shots of Jägermeister and drink WKD and Caribbean Twist and the like. Good tiiiimes. Hahaha.
mate i was in the park at the age of 14,with my WKD and herbal cigarettes thinking i was the bees nees
I still can’t drink cider after a particularly crazy session aged 13 and my stepdad had to carry me home on his back. When I went downstairs the next day expecting to get bollocked my mum and dad were like ‘weeeeyyyy! How’s your head?’ And taking the piss out of me. They were gutted to find out I had no hangover, probably because I vomited every trace of cider out of my body the night before.
American ?
When the American guy said wkd was bad me I think you might of just offended every brittish teen
I hope these lads have an actual friendship and go for drinks and adventures because they are so naturally entertaining x
Jeff: Land of the free
also Jeff: yeah if you're under 21 and drink you'll go to jail. Yeah no drinking in public is forbidden. yeah nah you can't post pictures of you drunk on parties when you're underage bc the school could see this you have to be very careful.
@Ginger ?
the one thing they forgot to point out, the UK teens by the age of 18 have already retired from drinking since they most probably started at 15/16
i love these two together, no one trying to out do the other. just seem like friends.
Telling your mom you was stopping at a mates house but really you face down in a park, full of white lightning with your mate saving you 2s
PLS DO A PART TWO BUT A COMPETITION BETWEEN A TEAM OF BRITS VS AMERICANS
The drinking age here in the US used to be 18 as well. However there was an epidemic of drunk driving in the 70’s. As a result the federal government passed a law requiring states to raise their drinking age to 21 or they would not receive federal subsidies for transportation projects. Minors also can still drink in most states if they are physically with their parents.
Arguing who drinks more is dumb, because it's like arguing who's life is shorter and worse quality.
America, the land of the free where you can at the age of eighteen vote and, from a gun show, buy an AR-15 but not a beer. Yeah that makes sense.
Andy White Americans don’t really make sense

In Germany you're allowed to buy alcohol and drink it legally at 16. Even in public.
Never understood America tho
poluki it’s because the brain is still devolving before it the age of 21 and the damage that alcohol does to cells is worse before the age of 21. So there is a legitimate reason they have drinking age of 21.
@@petejammo88 Yes, but the rest of the world doesn't have this age restriction.
poluki and what? The reason behind it is still legit no matter what age restriction the rest of the world has
@@petejammo88 I never said it wasn't legit. If people really cared about the development of the brain, they would be stricter with the age restriction.
While child development and health reasons were a consideration, that wasn’t the main reason. The real reason why is because of Prohibition and certain other political agendas like Mothers against Drunk Drivers (MADD) since the Reagan administration. In other words the government controls how we drink. Most Americans are just used to it because that’s just the way it’s been, plus it’s the law, but underage drinking is pretty much prevalent nationwide. You just don’t hear too much about it. If American teens really want alcohol, they’ll get it.
It's legal to drink under 18 in the UK (at home or at a house party) you have to be 18 to buy alcohol.
Should’ve had someone from the south to represent the us.
I think it’s totally mental that the drinking age is 21 in America... it’s like they’re asking people to break the law 😳
They just smoke dope instead.
It is so dumb it is the same with weed tho we all still do it 😂
How did he not talk about going down the boozer and getting a Stella don’t get more English than that

In Kansas alcohol sales on Sunday can only occur between 12:00 pm and 8:00 pm while it’s illegal to sell or buy alcohol on Easter Sunday
I’ve seen a guy so a yard glass in New Zealand in 10 seconds
Me 14 watching CZcams in my bedroom hungover after going to a party last night and getting pissed and the there’s America
Rod Jones lol
The fact is that having 50 states in the U S means that there are 50 different sets of rules for alcohol sales
yeah i just think of the USA as a continent and every state a country
Isn't there a federal law saying you have to be 21? I think before that, some states had an 18 limit, like Maine or Vermont.
Andy JS yea that’s why it’s so confusing as a brit (especially when visiting) the different laws state to state, especially when it comes to alcohol
@@ajs41 Yes there was a law passed several years ago that in order to continue getting superhighway repair funding from the federal government, each state had to raise its minimum drinking age to 21. However, there are several other laws about alcohol that vary from state to state. In some states, it is illegal to sit down on the sidewalk just outside the store where you bought the alcohol a minute ago and start drinking it. Some states have no such rule. The rules for what is a proper punishment for operating a motorized vehicle while under the influence of alcohol vary wildly from state to state. Sometimes the rules are different for a second offense and sometimes they are not. Sometimes a person is totally banned from driving a car for a year after multiple arrests. In some states, the worst that can happen is that you receive a highly restricted driver's license. You are supposed to be arrested for illegal driving if you are not doing option number one: driving to or from the place you told the judge you work at or the other option : to or from your officially chosen house of worship.
@@gwillis01 Here in the UK you can usually drink wherever you like, walking along the street for instance, and many cafes and coffee shops serve alcoholic drinks. Pretty much all shops sell beer and wine, like gas/petrol stations. You can also drink in a car as long as you're not driving. I've heard that in some American states the passengers in a car are not allowed to drink alcohol. 16 year olds can be served beer, wine and cider in restaurants as long as they're having food and are with someone 18 or older.
I need more of these two!
We hosted a 'yard of ale' challenge in one of the bars I worked in while travelling. The fastest I witnessed was 14 seconds
Thing about the yard of ale is... It's meant to be ale, not lager, which is what that looks like. Ale, unlike lager, is flat and therefore a lot easier to drag down.
Should've done a shoey as well, where you drink a pint out of your boot.
Or done a proper boot with the 4 pints 🤪 my record was 2 mins 15 seconds
They’re young, ridiculously stupid and think lager tastes nice. I have a mate, we go to the pub, My round, he orders a Stella. I come back with pints of Thuckstone’s old dirigible (8.5%) and he whinges that now he’s got the taste for it and is going to get brown beer drunk and fart his women out of bed!
Lord back in my youth whilst in uni I did a yard of ale. Promptly turned around and brought it all back up lol. Not my finest hour lol
@@tooziefaloozie oh I don't know , that's pretty impressive x
Das boot
You should of really called me to be the british guy, i would make all brits proud

In New Zealand we call that long glass thing a "Yardy" basically its tradition on your 21st birthday to chug the whole thing in 1 go.

Shooting a tin. In the Royal Navy we used to shoot a tin in this way. Give the tin to a mate. Sit down and brace yourself. Mate shakes the tin (optional), pierces the tin and places the hole over your mouth. You take hold of the tin while he opens the tin in the normal manner and proceeds to blow into the tin forcing the contents into you much quicker. Swap places and repeat.
In the UK you can drink alcohol in your house at the age of 5 but it’s 16 in public and 18 to buy
A bunch of proud alcoholics in the comments.
IfYouReadThisUsernameYouSmellLikeAButt I prefer the term alcohol enthusiast
IfYouReadThisUsernameYouSmellLikeAButt yeah, what you call being an alcoholic we just call being British
Americans think about 3 drinks make you an alcoholic
Henry Hunter in England we call 3 drinks, breakfast
Darrell Richards 3 drinks ain’t even pre drinks🤣
