In the world it is a stereotype that Russian and Irish men can drink the most and drink the most in the world. This is actually not true. There is statistics showing that this is not necessarily true. Yes Irish men do drink a lot, but there are actually women in Vietnam who drink more than the men in Russia. This just shows that binge drinking is actually a problem everywhere, not only in Russia or Ireland. There are also statistics that show that some African countries drink more drinks per week than Ireland does. People only believe that alcoholism is very common in Europe or America, but what people do not know is binge drinking is a growing problem everywhere and it is hurting many people. Another stereotype that people have is men drink more than women, but like I stated earlier there are many countries where the women drink more than the men. This is something that needs to be solved.
Binge drinking is a problem that will always exist, but it could be reduced. I believe that if people would be taught to drink more responsibly then many problems would go away and many people would not drink to only get drunk. Prohibition would not work and I believe it would make things worse, but like I said it would be better if we taught everyone the dangers of binge drinking. This problem is not only in America or Europe, but it is in every nation and this is a global health issue because binge drinking is killing many people and it is becoming more and more popular because people are curious. Alcohol is something that needs to be taken more serious around the world and if it is not it will continue to kill more people worldwide.
