Lol, well, fun fact is some days after I posted this, somebody showed me a
video from an Argentinan warning other South Americans against our habits.

I don't have the video here, but some pieces I remember:

"This place will turn you into an alcoholic."

"There is no way of socializing here other than drinking and eating. If you try
to go out with friends to do something else, then at some point somebody will
drag the group to a bar."

"Just after finishing job, my workmates told me to go out for some fun. They
took me to a bar. Here they always give you snacks for free with your drinks,
so what a lot of people does is to walk into a bar, drink and eat, then walk
into the next bar in the street and drink and eat some more [...] by the time I
realized I had been drinking and eating since 3 pm and it was nearly 11 [...]
despite my efforts not to drink that much I was feeling like shit the next
day."
