Yeah, that was a big shock for me going to the states: the moderation of drinking. That and the seemingly quite open selling of neo-nazi t shirts in stores. Finding a Skrewdriver T Shirt or one with some pro-Nazi skinhead type slogan on it, hanging up next to a Sonic Youth one in what seemed like quite a liberal shop. You'd not find that in England. Didn't know whether to be impressed by the freedom of choice, or horrified. either way, it felt weird.
