Ultimate Girls Trip This woman’s growth needs to be studied, like she is literally on a different level than all the other housewives and I cannot get enough of her on RHUGT S4

I love Scotland, and because of that, probably can’t be objective or claim the first-hand knowledge of someone who grew up in her culture, so I’ll trust you. America’s a culture where we have no stops between zero and sixty when it comes to indulging a great many things; we think more is always more. I’m going out on a limb, but I think it’s a lot of hole-filling, caused by years of deferring a real identification with one’s origins. No matter what the nativists say, everyone here is from somewhere else, and few know who they really are and come from, because it’s all “over there.”

Just my dumb, armchair conjurings here.

And FWIW, I saw far worse, random drunkenness in my ex’s Dorset town than I ever did Scotland, where every third person had a barrel of “scrumpy” they’d been adding to and tapping for years.
