FlyingSquid, 
Nonsense. Weed is legal in so many states now.
FordBeeblebrox, ¿Porque no los dos?
ohlaph, Wait, just Americans?
MargotRobbie, 
Everyday is a holiday when you are on Lemmy!
… I really should drink less.
Zink, Nah I don’t really drink. Let me go hit my vape pen or pop an edible real quick. It brings me physical comfort and mental happiness.
Drunks after they finish their fist fight: “Eww get out of here, druggie!”
Afghaniscran, You’re very judgemental for someone with mental happiness.
don, lol that’s facts
Zink, It was supposed to be a commentary on the social acceptance of some drugs but not others.
I can see it must read in a much more bitchy way than intended.
TimewornTraveler, yikes lemmy fuckin hated this comment
I’ll say it with my chest, FUCK ALCOHOL, shit is poison that ruins lives
Doll_Tow_Jet-ski, You have to justify the obsession with alcohol in this society in some way
_Gandalf_the_Black_, I don’t think that’s exclusive to Americans, not even close
don, OP: Russians are not a thing, not at all.
Cipher22, (edited ) The US is generally a lightweight on this front.
Valmond, France:
Do we drink?
Well, are we going to eat? Like sometime in the future.
Afghaniscran,
TWeaK, Was gonna say, hold my pint (but only after I’ve drunk it).
Also US pints are pussies, they should just switch to metric. Meanwhile UK pints are king.
Moderationslog, Amateure
Todesschnitzel, Wie bitte?
don, Чего вы говорите?
LemmyIsFantastic, It’s still a 4% pale ale that tastes like piss though.
lars, they should just switch to metric
Can you imagine a place that uses imperial units next to metric units, in some unholy alliance that’s clearly worse than imperial units alone? Welcome to the UK, bruv.
enki, (edited ) I mean we use US customary and metric too, but US customary measurements aren’t always the same as Imperial.
1 US pint = 16 US fluid ounces
1 British pint = 20 British fluid ounces
But wait!
1 British pint = 19.2 US fluid ounces
Would you like to know more? Probably not, but anyways: …wikipedia.org/…/Comparison_of_the_imperial_and_U…
TWeaK, In real money:
1 US pint = 473ml
1 UK pint = 568ml
Meanwhile the standard metric measure is 500ml. So US would benefit from dropping the pint in favour of metric, while UK drinkers would be understandably reluctant. Unfortunately, most UK bottles are now 500ml, thanks to shrinkflation. Newcastle Brown held out for a while, so did ciders, but these days pint bottles are quite rare.
PsychedSy, Even better, we refer to bottles of liquor as a pint, a fifth and a handle. A pint is 375ml, a fifth is 750ml and a handle is 1.75l. Not even mixed - metric volumes with US customary names.
