Drinking in France

Not completely American. Drinking in public is fine in New Orleans. You do have a good point though. It is like one of those weird religious rules in the U.S. that most people don’t question.

Also in Las Vegas, drink all you want on the strip, no one cares.

I just got back from Paris. Don’t recall seeing beer at McDonalds, but they did have cans of beer for sale at one Subway I went to.

I clearly remember seeing wine at McDonald’s in France, and I’m not alone in saying that they do sell it.

Der Spiegel.

The Globe and Mail.

I saw guys walking around with huge cans of beer in the Banbury train station in England…I don’t know if they were supposed to be doing this or not but nobody seemed to care.

Why wouldn’t they be able to?

from Wiki:

NYC: 8,391,881
Hong Kong: 7,055,071

That NYC population is only looking at the city, when you add the metro area:

New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-PA MSA 19,069,796
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, CA MSA 12,874,797
Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, IL-IN-WI MSA 9,580,567

Metropolitan statistical area - Wikipedia

Yeah, New York is larger than Hong Kong, my bad.

No other cities in America are, though (metro areas being irrelevant to my point.)

City populations and metropolitan areas depend on entirely on where one chooses to place the border, which most people seem to place according to how much a city’s population they feel is directly correlated with their personal virility as opposed to competing claims. Or something.
