Why London and not Los Angeles? If you can get a visa it's a hell of a lot cheaper, making it as an actor isn't going to be easy (to put it lightly) anywhere, but at least in LA there are a decent number of low-paying jobs available.

Edit: just curious. You can rent your own room in a shared apartment in a not-terrible neighborhood for ~$500/600 a month.

If I were young and had saved up and wanted to try the whole acting thing, I'd move to fuckin' Hollywood :v:

Dunno how it's for the US, I would suspect it's like Australia. Smaller cities and towns with more rednecks/bogans and drinking until you're throwing up on yourself is all in a nights fun.. while the bigger cities bring more of other cultures that really think it's disgusting.

Broadly speaking, getting completely shitfaced to the point of staggering around, throwing up, blacking out and all that good stuff is something that American high schoolers and college kids do. Working adults doing the same would generally be viewed as irresponsible, immature, and displaying a lack of self-control (unless it's your birthday or a wedding or other big celebration, and even then). Don't forget the influence of Puritanism, the Temperance movement, teetotaling, Prohibition, etc on US drinking culture.
