FWIW as a Brit, Americans seem to treat alcohol as being much more of a taboo than we do.

A Brit sees an alcoholic as someone who is pissed basically all of the time during the day or maybe 5+ drinks every night of the week.

I don’t know why it’s this way, but it definitely is, Americans when moving to the UK often come across as being really uptight on this.
