I don't live in the US but I've heard that there is not so much drinking at Saturdays and fridays?

here in norway its like crazy... it is completely normal that the kids start drinking at the age of 13-14 (I do not say this is positive though) Anyway we have a well known phenomen called "helgefylla" which directly translated in english means "weekend-drunkness" I was just wondering, does this appear in the U.S to? I think it is common in Sweden 4sure... maybe more there (but thats because they got Jon O :P)
 
It is true that americans drink less than others...in my opinion....BUT i think if you go to the right places people will be drinking more than just on friday and saturday...go to a college campus
 
haha yes, yes you do. well, for the most part anyways.

at the beginning of semester i got drunk 4 of 8 nights with at least some alcohol comsumption on 3 of the other 4 nights. calmed down a little bit after that, but i still got drunk 1-2 times per weekend until midterms hit, then it was 1 night per week, and i only got drunk once during the 14 day final exam period. oh, and go to ubc (vancouver)
 
im 17 and have been partying pretty consistently since i was 14 or 15. weekends, weeknights, whenever.
 
im 16 ive been drinking since about 14, and right now we drink friday and saturday, and then if there is a big sportiing event what ever day of the week that is
 
I'd say friday and saturday are the most popular drinking days because every other night you probably have to go to work the next day
 
umm im 16 and in america most people only drink a lot on weekends but there are some exceptions, like tonight...i guess im gonna be hungover at school.
 
yah up in canada were pretty solid drinkers everyone i know gets drunk at least once a week either friday or saturday and then if u go to college or uni then its like twice more durint the week or at least once so therfore i can conclude we drink at least twice a week
 
Yea, we definitely have this helgefylla in america. It just happens at an older age. I would say at least 90% of the times I get drunk is on the weekend. Maybe a thursday night if I don't have class or work on friday. And it happens once or twice every week for me, barring some rare illness or exams / essays. More frequently during time off.
 
yeah i suck cause i have school when you don't right now....that's OK, that's why Americans excel at everything.

just kidding but not really
