Subreddit Rules

Keep It European

Memes should be relevant to Europe, Europeans, or European culture. Off-topic memes will be removed.

No Hate Speech or Bigotry

Racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and other forms of hate speech are strictly prohibited. Satire is welcome, but not at the expense of marginalized groups.

No Spam or Self-Promotion

Don’t flood the sub with your own content or links. Participate genuinely.

English Preferred, but Multilingual Welcome

While English is the main language, memes in other European languages are allowed if the humor is clear or a translation is provided.

Be Kind and Constructive

Disagreements happen, but keep discussions civil. Personal attacks, trolling, or harassment will result in bans.

The main difference is that the British beer is warm temperature and the German beer is cold

You've clearly never known any severe alcoholics

Edit: I'm sorry, I didn't mean for that to sound snarky. Severe alcoholics tend to have flushed cheeks and a lot of the time the rest of their skin will be red as well. If it is very bad their skin will darken and it will look like they are bruised at all times.

Other signs include being sweaty as hell constantly, and even if they haven't been drinking around the time you encounter them you will literally be able to smell the alcohol through their skin

Source: I have a family history of alcoholism on both sides. Not that I'm straight-edge or anything but alcoholism absolutely terrifies me and I can barely manage a full glass of wine.
