It's absolutely acceptable to go to a university lecture at 8 am, and sit in the front row with a beer. The professors won't mind. You can buy beer in the cafeteria as well as in a vending machine at the library.

Pulling out a bottle of hard liquor is frowned upon tho.

Heh, that's real nice how beer is normalized there.

I mean, it's fun and all for a while, until you realize that 8/10 people have developed a moderate to severe drinking problem by the age of 25.
