This is it, exactly. The Spanish are the same. I lived in Spain for two years and change. I never saw a Spaniard of any age indulge in foolish drinking. I never saw a drunk Spaniard. You could be at a festival or feria at two in the morning and Spanish of all ages would be partying like crazy, yet no one would be drunk...not even a little. They drink small amounts of wine or beer with meals, and a small drink or two in the late evening.
