UK, Ireland / Warning to British people visiting Poland!! Don't get drunk and smash the place up! [447]

hi, i'm a british male who emigrated permanently to south east poland. i came to live in poland with my girlfriend who is polish, after we met in london, and we intend to get married this summer.

i came online to find some information about other english people in poland, and i was very upset and shocked to find that the majority of articles are about how english people are coming to poland, getting too drunk, smashing the place up and being generally disrespectful to their hosts. i found that many poles are generalizing that english cannot take their drink, and should be banned from clubs and hotels.

i should explain an important point.
in england it is very unusual (apart from weddings and funerals) for english people to eat while they are drinking. when i first came to poland, i could hardly stand up after a few shots of vodka, mainly because i refused to eat. now, i eat and drink all night long with out any harm just a very mellow mood.

if english people could adopt the polish way of enjoying alcohol, then maybe the common problems of a friday and saturday night across the uk, could be avoided.

please, please, please do not generalize that english people are bad news. :)
