I met some drunken Scots- often when I was doing my shopping mid morning. They were not outrageously boisterous, at least they wouldn't have been in the US, but for Scots they were :-) I remember one young man stopped to ask me all about my shopping, and what we were having for lunch, and whether there was enough for him. He was very sweet, and the kids thought he must be an old friend or something, and I was very nice and polite, because you have to feel sorry for someone dead drunk at 10:30 in the morning, and he wasn't a bit aggressive. We saw people passed out in the road, and staggering down the street- not something we normally see where we live in the US, though I suppose in bigger cities maybe it is something you see a lot- but these people weren't homeless or ...I can't think what word I want- these are just ordinary folks that drink WAY too much.

The health service is looking in to ways to curb drinking in Scotland and the UK. They are worried about it.
