Missing information

I came to this page specifically to find out more about customs that surround drinking, and found pretty much nothing, so I guess there's a hole to fill in. I propose sections about

toasts
religious functions of alcoholic drinks
association of particular beverages with particular occasions
drinking songs
drinking etiquette (who buys, "rounds", and so on)
"speeches"
drinking games

There are separate articles about almost all of those things, but for this article not even to mention any of them is unfortunate.

I clicked in from Snapsvisa, hoping to find other examples of similar customs around the world; I'm sure there are tons. So mostly what I think is missing is little summaries of aspects of world drinking customs, with links to the main articles thereupon.

I'd propose also reshaping it to a country-by-country approach: it's Anglocentric, anecdotal, and I'm not sure what binge-drinking is doing in here, either. It's a complete mess at the moment. Needs a lot of TLC. Anyone? AdventurousMe (talk) 11:30, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
