I think countries where the men drink a lot are the norm.

Drinking problems? The only drinking problem I know is not drinking.

Why is there always that one Colombian drunk in your face trying to get you to drink something you dont want. Every party I go to there is always one. And they don't stop all night bothering the hell out of everyone.You all know the guy, the one who wants you to drink out his shot glass even tho you see parts of his dinner around the rim, he's very loud and spits on you when he talks. And the breath that can stop a train.

Every party has one and usually only one. Should Two of them show up at the same party well one must go. But not before making at least one round thur the party to warm you up for the one that stays.

Colombian drunk a pain? Try dealing with an irate drunk German. Or a pissed off drunk HUGE Samoan. I've had to do both. I almost had to shoot the Samoan. From what I've seen in my neighborhood/barrio, less people drink or drink to excess than my neighborhood in So. Calif. perhaps they can't afford it. Although Aguadiente and brandy have some cheap varities. About 3-4 times a week a neighbor lady, her daughter, son and guests drink, beer, aguadiente and snort perico untilk the wee hours of the morning. No Thanks.. What is perico? Some kind of cut cocaine?

Too funny... I see you've all found my lost uncle crashing your parties.... lol....

But, on a serious note... When I was in Colombia, we went out dancing and between... 6 people, managed to consume 3 bottles of whiskey... Actually, I should say 5 people, since I only had 2 drinks.... None the less, when we were ready to go home... My stumbling friend was ready to drive my sober butt home!... Fortunately, I value my life and forced him to sit his butt in the passengar seat as I drove us home.... Yes, it was an interesting night... He of course had sobered up after the 1 mile drive and after the 4am serenada, he was ready to drive home!...

are you serious? colombians drinking problem? where are you from or where do you reside? i havent been anywhere in the world where i havent come across drunks of all kind. You have your dancing drunks, your talkative drunks, your crying drunks, your violent drunks, your perverted drunks, etc Ive seen them of all shapes and kinds. Not just in guys by the way. So, no I dont think its a colombian thing sorry.

Look no one said They have a drinking problem any more than any other country in the world. Every country has them and to tell you the truth it sad but funny as hell at the same time.

The title "Colombians have a drinking problem" is too sweeping.

Some colombians have drinking problems, some others barely touch alcohol. I think countries like Russia probably have much much higher rates of alcoholism than Colombia does.

What kind of fucking question is that???

Do Irish, British, Italians, Israelis, et al have drinking and drug problems? Do Americans suffer any less addiction?

C'biche, don't even honor such bs with a real answer. There's some underlying tones.

Yeah, you are right toneloc, what was I thinking? Having this sort of title on a Colombia board kind of borders on the trollish and offensive.
