I was on one of my trips to Seoul at a bar. I heard these two guys talking and one mentioned that he was out one night and there was this "drunken Canadian idiot", etc. Something to that effect. The way he said it was depicting Canadians to be typically this way.

It's not the first time I've heard something like this. Is this true? Where does it come from? Are Americans more reserved and careful in public?

This is an impossible question to answer without looking at alcoholism statistics, and then it's hard to say who gets "drunker" in public.

But my European friends say the people who get the most drunk and disorderly at tourist spots are Americans. I bet they see Canadians, though, and think they are yankees.

I don't believe Canadians are any more or less drunkards than Americans but, in my opinion, are vastly more aggressive when intoxicated. Maybe it's all the hockey bravado or something...

Yes. Choke on it, you queen.

I am American, and I am absolutely *beep*-faced drunk. But am I more drunk than a typical Canadian?

I think we need to set up a sidewalk breathalyzer unit somewhere and get readings from people. Canadian and American people. And hot chicks.

drunker? I dont know. But thinking about, talking about, and even making their own beer - this absolutely goes to Canucks.
