Being an Englishman living in Ireland, I really don't like to generalize! Personally I drink alot, and maybe I've gone native? It is odd that wherever one travels theres always an Irish Pub. Along time ago I did find an English "pub" in Rome - it was run by a Scottish woman and had Austrian bar-maids and an old sign for Watneys Red Barrel - it still served Guinness of course (well as far as it can be served outside the Emerald Isle, ie badly). Sorry I'm just rambling now....
