Thank you for watching this YouTube video from the Hickson Diaries. This video explores fascinating "cultural differences" between the UK and the US, particularly focusing on "social norms" around "alcohol" consumption. As an American "living abroad" in the "united kingdom," I break down some everyday actions that are completely normal here but might raise eyebrows back home. It's all part of the fun of experiencing different cultures!

Mustard - ham.
Brown sauce - sausges.
Ketchup - chips
Thems the rules. 😊
I think if prohibitions regarding firearms and alcohol were swapped, the USA would be a better place.
After escaping from London, I went into a shop and was greeted with,"Yes luv?" So comforting to be back home in god's own county.

In the UK, a drink after work or at lunch can feel completely normal — but in the US it’s often seen very differently.
Do you think Britain has a healthier relationship with alcohol, or is it just a different kind of culture around it?
Would love to hear from both Brits and Americans on this one. And if you enjoy these kinds of UK vs US cultural observations, consider subscribing to The Hickson Diaries.
