"It's part of the globalization of behavior that, as far as drug and alcohol abuse is concerned, at the European Union level is evidenced in all 27 states," he says. In other words, if France hopes to maintain its cultural exception as a country that consumes alcohol responsibly, it will need to work alongside the rest of Europe to find a solution to youth binge-drinking...
