My roommates yesterday had a little party which i also attended. They played this game where people have to drink and flip their cups in order for the next in their team to drink until everyone has drank and flipped their cup and then the team wins. Three rounds were enough for me bu they kept going for the next three hours.They consumed over 30 cans of beer. Do not ask me I still wonder where they put all that beer only six people. for me this is a big number. Today i decided to clean the mess we made yesterday at the kitchen and i saw the pyramid of cans on the kitchen table and i wondered. I went and talked about it with my roommates and they said they are going to bring the cans for recycling and receive a refund for the cans.
In my first post about recycling bottles and cans i did not realize the weight of my words. Since i came here i have observed most Americans consuming huge amounts of alcohol of all kinds. imagine all those amounts of cans and glass being able to be recycled. The people who bring those for recycling can actually take back a significant amount of their money when they give them back. Imagine in the Bills games for example!!!
Just think about these amounts!
NOTICE: the picture is not that good but this is the first pyramid they made. These are only half the cans they actually drank so you can think how many there were left to be consumed.

your reaction to the amount they drank reminds me of my trip to italy. when we would go to the grocery store to get dinner and some drinks, everyonme would look at the amount of alcohol that we purchased, someone even said 'They must be American". I guess culturally we consume alcohol in large amounts as apposed to just having a drink or two with dinner like i saw people over there doing.
Yea I remember that too. I think many young adults need alcohol to let loose and have fun. They want to throw caution to the wind. At least they are recycling.
Do you have a drinking age in Greece? I was reading earlier that Americans might drink more because it's restricted more. Just curious.
probably it is that because there is a restriction that can be easily broken i suppose. Our drinking age is 18.
