Sweden and Norway although you know things change quickly when people get very drunk. Guys have an excuse to show more emotions when they get drunk. They start to hug each other and some even kiss on the cheek. I have seen this bonding among young British with a public school background.
Whether people kiss on the cheek is in my experience also a matter of social background in England and Sweden. I got the impression some perceive it as sophisticated (= French?) although it isn't if you think of two very masculine looking Turkish guys with big moustaches kissing each other on the cheek.
It might be the case those Italian guys who kiss on the cheek are simply more comfortable with showing affection.

Where have you seen this in Scandinavia, Exeter?
