However this is a big drinking community. I have often wondered how many never really drank much while they were working and now find themselves drinking often.

What people say and how it is received often gets lost in translation.
I can only speak for myself but my work experiences with people involved in accidents as a result of drinking vary from just once they got carried away with celebrating and...... to a number of accidents wherein the at fault driver is an alcoholic and nothing stops this individual from drinking and driving even without a license. Anyone who investigates the aftermath of a fatality resulting from a person driving DWI/DUI walks away with the commitment that sobriety when behind the wheel is a good decision.
I forget which Scandinavian country ( I believe Norway)
0.02 % of alcoholic content is defined as under the influence and that means probably one glass of beer. the article continued on that's why most walk home from the bar after their visit
so some of critics are not being condescending just prescient
