> Which is a shame because after traveling and drinking a lot in different countries I've found that drinking games were one of the most interesting thing.
In case you were planning to visit Poland or some post-USSR country, we have no drinking games at all. We just drink, and we drink to get drunk, 'drinking games' don't make any sense for us and are generally subject of disregard so it's not even a thing worth mentioning if you are here.
The only quasi-sensible (by our standards) game I recall is 3 glasses, probably too hardcore for most nations of the world (well, it is hardcore even for us). You put 3 shots on the table - one filled with water, one with vodka, one with spirit. You have to pick two, you drink one and wash down with the other, good luck if you wash down vodka with spirit.
> Also in France it's common courtesy to bring a bottle when you come to a party, meeting and to share it with everyone
Here too. Loosely translated there is a rule "you shall not come empty-handed" aka you need a "glass ticket" to enter a party. And it's not 'courtesy', it's a big deal, even if you're broke or lost in the middle of the night in a neighborhood you don't know, you should bring whatever you can afford at the nearest 24h or gas station.
