bang on jaysay IMHO, its a similar thing as to why many young brits are such knobs abroad, they sup much stronger draught, much bigger measures of spirits, n think they can sup the same amount that makes em stupid oer here, result "Hospital" "Local Nick" "Unconcious Haze" still it makes the landlords a euro or two.
