The northern Europeans who liked to drink stayed in Europe. It was the Taliban-level Puritan extremists who moved to America to start their own society.
Later waves of immigration were not so Puritan, but the upper classes were still very much associated with those sects well into the 20th century.
And yes, I don't think it's a coincidence that a society founded by Puritans has a binge drinking problem.
