A typical road in the Flores area, near one of my regular classes. All over the roads in this part of town you can see thousands of beer bottle caps embedded in the asphalt. Quilmes, a locally brewed favorite, is the most common. I thought it was quite the phenomenon.
Especially considering that porteños don't normally drink to excess. They'll have a glass of wine or beer at dinner with friends, but you do not see large groups of young people staggering about drunk on weekend nights. They drink socially, but are rarely actually inebriated.
