It cannot be explained briefly as is possible when describing drinking in many other countries. There are special laws to limit drinking and Americans enjoy their own tastes. Alcohol American laws concerning alcohol differ from state to state and city to city. Insome towns even states alcohol is not allowed for sale at all except for the very weak 3.2 percent alcoh ol beer known as ―three-two‖beer. Some places do not allow the sale of alcohol on Sundays even in shops—you may find a bar with locks on its alcohol shelves. Other places permit alcohol to be sold on Sunday afternoons and evenings but not on Sunday mornings. In many parts of America you are not allowed to drink alcohol in a public place. That is you may not sit in a park or walk along a street while drinking beer and you cannot even take a nice bottle of wine on your picnic. And in many states you are not allowed to drink alcohol while driving or even have an opened alcohol bottle in the car. Some bars have a license only for beer and wine. Others are also allowed to sell spirits 烈性酒and as Americans say ―mixed drinks‖. Many bars have a period known as ―hap py hour‖often longer than an hour when they sell drinks at lower-than-usual prices. This is usually around 5 p.m. and may be only on certain days of the week. The Legal Drinking Age The legal drinking age differs from place to place but is generally between 18 and 21. Some places permit the consumption of beer at 18 but spirits only at 21. Others permit the consumption only of ―three-two‖beer from 18 to 21. Young people therefore often drive from one place to another with more free drinking laws. In some parts of the US young people areallowed to vote marry raise children keep full-time jobs be tried in courts as adults join the army and even buy guns—but NOT have a glass of beer. In some places people aged between 18 and 21 are allowed to go into bars but not allowed to drink. Another even more interesting aspect of American drinking age laws is that in some places people below legal drinking age are not even allowed to sell alcohol. Proof of Legal Drinking Age In most places these drinking laws are fairly rigidly kept. You may for example find people lining up to get into a bar and discover that the line is caused by a guard on the door who is asking everybody for identification. If you ask him why he wants to know who you are he will inform you that he actually wants proof of how old you are. On such occasions Americans often show their driving licenses which have their date of birth written on them. Beer American beer with very few exceptions ranges from the average to the terrible. There are not many types of beer in the US—‖light‖and ―dark‖are two terms commonly used. It is therefore normal to order beer simply by brand names. In a restaurant in fact it is quite all right to order ―a beer‖and they will tell you what they have. It is not necessary either to specify quantity when ordering beer. If it comes in bottles or cans you will get a bottle or can and if it’s ―on tap‖可以随时取用的you will get a glass unless you order a ―pitch er‖大酒罐. The latter is veryconvenient to serve since you can then take the pitcher and glasses to your table and keep filling up without going back to the bar. It is harder however to know how much you have drunk. Some beer comes in bottles with taps that look as if they need an opener but you can in fact open them up by hand—though you have to be very careful not to hurt yourself. It is possible in some stores and bars to find a wide variety of beer from all over the world especially Western Europe and Australia and it is fun to try them. Cocktail 鸡尾酒Cocktails and ―mixed drinks‖are much more popular and stronger in the US than in Europe and visitors may not be familiar with some of the term. ―On the rocks‖as you probably know means with ice while ―straight up‖or ―up‖means neat and without ice. There are hundreds of different cocktails and there is no space here to list all the different names. Whiskey InAmerica ―whiskey‖means bourbon unless otherwise indicated. Bourbon波旁威士忌is a rather oily spirit made from corn. Rye 黑麦whiskey is called ―rye‖and Scotch whiskey ―Scotch‖. Wine In bars wine can often be bought by the glass. Don’t be misled by names. ―Chablis‖is used to refer to white wineand ―Burgundy‖to red—Americans seem never to have heard of white Burgundy. 21. Limits on drinking in the US are the strictest in the world. 22. Alcohol in some states can be sold if they are not verystrong. 23. In many states people are not allowed to drink alcohol while driving but they can keep opened alcohol bottles in the car. 24. The legal drinking age in the US is between 18 and 21. 25. Americans often show their driving licenses if asked for identification when they get into a bar. 26. You are requested to clarify how much you want when you order beer. 27. Many stores and bars offer a wide variety of beer from all over the world. 28. If you say ―straight up‖when ordering cocktail in the US you mean you want it_____________ 29. In America ―whiskey‖usually refers to a kind of oily spirit made from __________________. 30. ―Rye‖is another name for_______________________________ III.
