Australian and I have visited a Kneipe / Bar which was next door to a market. So I saw many a worker having a bier. Some did get drunk, others would be there and have maybe 2 biers over a few hours, just talking and or playing those electronic game machines on the wall. Obviously as a tourist yes I enjoyed some beer and talking at times to locals, Orkus observing what was going on.

2:25 This was an extremely accurate scene. The only bottle openers in the country are for foreigners. If you can't open the beer with whatever you have around you, you don't deserve to have beer.
