I like the culture surrounding drinking in the DR. People know how to have a good time. Drinking is a part of just about every social outing. BUT... I never saw unruly angry drunks looking for a fight like they do in the US. As much as Dominicans drink it was explained to me that you are expected to not appear drunk off your a**. The motive for drinking is to have fun, sing, dance, laugh and ummm other fun stuff. I drank much more while living there (daily) and certainly did not feel like an alcoholic.
