"lots of brits are pretty embarrassing when abroad"
True, but it misrepresents our culture. Skews the continental view of us. I admit I was too a d*unk, but haven't been d*unk in 4 years after moving here. |

When abroad. in my experience if there is d*unken loutish going ons. It will almost certainly be UK dwellers.....It is our culture to boast of how much we can drink........It is only us and the Dutch who seem to have this attitude. Sad and really cringeworthy tbh x |

Seen plenty of Germans pissed up in beer kellers in various European cities. They have beer festivals in Germany and Belgium. |

When we've travelled abroad, we've always found that people from the UK are abusive when d*unk, but people from continental Europe are really friendly.
The last time we were in Paris, we met a Polish guy in a bar, who was living in Germany but working in France, and wanted to learn English.
We spent two hours having a great conversation, in various languages, while he kept buying us drinks and refusing to let us buy him one.
It's just us Brits who are twats!  |

Well it's perception. The Dutch can drink a lot. They just drink from the night until 5am. So on the first train in the morning resembles some British city centres at 6pm. I blame the last orders. |

Personally I think a lot of the western european nations have a heavy drinking culture - but it tends to be the 'laddish/bloke' or younger demographics who take it over the line from d*unk merriment to abuse and endanger themselves and potentially others. Though apparently people between 21 and 30 are increasingly more likely to be tea total now... :P
There is probably a stereotype as well, just because Brits are so numerous - there are a lot of us, and the pre-arranged clubbing holiday industry is well established here. |

Bollocks I swear none of you ever get out, tonight I've chatted to a polish guy and a Slovakian couple both very friendly along with all the British people.
Bit of ribbing going on, I told him he sounds south African because he's been here to long and he told me I sound like I'm from Staffordshire!... Turns out he's from southern Poland which combined with 20 years in Herefordshire leads to a very weird accent.
Anyhow what we all agreed on is Muslims are cunts  .
But quietly where nobody heard us!....I mean it's not like we're racists  |
