Dr. Peele contrasts the binge drinking styles found in Northern European countries such as Finland, Sweden, and Ireland with the Mediterranean style of drinking found in countries like Italy, France, and Spain. Even though the Mediterranean countries consume more alcohol per capita they have far fewer alcohol problems because binge drinking is rare in these societies.
