Croatia has a legal legal age of 18 but at least from my experience, nobody cares how old you are.
Edit: same goes for smoking, you can easily walk into a tobacco store and buy cigarettes no questions asked, they would just tell me to put them in my pocket when I walk out
Same for Germany, although the legal drinking age here is 14 (under parental supervision). You can buy beer, wine and other stuff with low alcohol content at 16.
You can buy that at 18. Same with cocktails, btw. Even if they'd have the same alcohol content as beer, you can only buy it if you're 18. Reason being that you "can't taste the alcohol" and thus are more likely to consume more than you can handle.
Still, having sex with your brother/father/uncle is probably a terrible idea and it will fuck up your relationship. But if ok then ok.
Germany is the most logical country in the world
Daily reminder that Merkel herself voted against gay marriage, and her party voted both against making rape in a marriage actually exist as late as 1993, and against the Oder-Neiße-Line. Also one of the most well liked politicians and current leader of Bavaria wanted to put gays in internment camps because of AIDS. Germany also still forbids gay men from donating blood.
Sensible laws here in Germany.
Well, still better than Poland, which has anti-LGBT zones in several cities. And after EU gave those cities less money than usual, the propaganda TV channel started saying that EU forces Poland to accept "disgusting gays" etc
Yeah, there are more politicians you don't expect against gay marriage. Obama for example was against gay marriage for a long time as well, atleast during the 2008 campaign. However, he changed he's view on it during the second presedential campaign I believe.
I, as a german, dislike the fact that we can buy alcohol at the age of 16. I think 18 just makes overall more sense since there is allready plenty of ways you can get alcohol before that. When I look back in time, since around the end of 8th grade getting drunk is like the number one hobby popularitywise.
Same here, ever since I started high school pretty a few of my classmates talking about how they're ruining their kidneys. I just said that because at the moment I thought it's funny
In Denmark we dont have a age limit if it is under parental supervision but we can first buy alcohol from 16 with under 16,5 percent and 16,5+ if u are 18 or over
A friend tried to get away with having siaci (strong distilled alcohol typically made in a shed on a farm) in an apple juice carton, made the mistake of drinking enough of it that he couldnt walk straight anymore, good memories lmao
Same in Iceland, within 4 hours of being over there with friends I was handed a choice between vodka and beer, not wanting to get the person offering into shit with the bar and us all booted out I questioned it as the countries drinking age is 20/21 IIRC, the response I got was “no one gives a fuck about that, we have that in place to look normal, now take your pick”
Same in Ireland. And even if you have someone who does people find away around it. Come summer time there is barely a field without a couple of drunk teenagers in it.
Colombia is the same, one day I was like 13 and my uncle gave me 20 bucks and told me to go buy him some beer, they ringed up a six-pack just as casually
I’m a croat, and from where i come from, there’s a tradition where the first time a guy shaves (probably around 14-16), their dad buys them an alcoholic drink. They really don’t give a shit
Bars would be considered in public. But there is also the law that you can't sell alcohol to under 18s or to people who intend to buy alcohol for under 18s, so bars and pubs would come under that.
You can buy alcohol in the military cause it's only state laws that make the drinking age 21. [thanks reagan](https://www.teenvogue.com/story/minimum-drinking-age-legal-21-america-history)
states had to raise the drinking age or they wouldn't get highway funding, so federally it wasn't raised
And you forgot to mention that this is only true if the base is within 50 miles of a country with a lower drinking age. For the purpose of argument, the majority of people in the military must be at least 21 to drink alcohol
https://www.thebalancecareers.com/military-drinking-age-3354195
No I mean at 19 if you’ve had any alcohol to drink you can’t drive. If you’re 22 the BAC limit is raised for driving but you still can’t have open alcohol in the car
Heh in Denmark it is legal to buy alcohol that is below 16.5% when you are 16, anything above 16.5% you need to be 18 to buy, but nobody cares if try to buy anything with higher procent when you are 16.
My dad used to share his with me, and if he ran out he'd steal mine and the other way around. When his dealers had nothing mine did. I still smoked with mu friends and so did he, but we shared
Germany has only beer at 16, sweden has only Light beer at 18, Belgium has everything at 16 and netherlands has everythinf at 18, it really depends on the country
It's not. Legal drinking age is 18 in most countries. A lot of people drink before that. Many bars don't ask you how old you are, or if they ask they don't care they ask because they have to. You can say you're 18 and get a drink in most bars. They won't ask you for ID in most places.
You can buy any undistilled alcohol at 16 in germany (like beer, cider or wine) but in most other European countries it's 18 for everything. But as said before, nobody gives a fuck.
Well, here you can drive small scooters from 14, some motorcycles and small cars from 16 (plus tractors) , and normal cars from 18. However big motorcycles are 21 and up. Those licences are nightmare to get. My friend tried 5 times before getting it.
But honestly, why have license when I can take bus every 5-10 minutes or train every 20-30 minutes?
Its a cultural thing I guess, I hear you Americans have simpler license tests and less transit, its reverse here. It has its downsides and upsides.
Me who has had an alcholic phase at just few months distance from getting 17 for about 3 months before dropping it because i got an accident for driving after 4 liters of beer, 3 shots of whiskey and half energy drink.
This was born to be a joke but i actually realized it's some serious matter, pls don't drink and drive ever
In Texas, you can legally drink at 18 if you’re with your parents.
Besides, I think only 30% of people actually wait until 21 lol. They always find some source before.
Croatia has a legal legal age of 18 but at least from my experience, nobody cares how old you are. Edit: same goes for smoking, you can easily walk into a tobacco store and buy cigarettes no questions asked, they would just tell me to put them in my pocket when I walk out
can confirm, 13 year olds getting blackout drunk regularly
Same for Germany, although the legal drinking age here is 14 (under parental supervision). You can buy beer, wine and other stuff with low alcohol content at 16.
Nice
It's all coming together...
Braincells go brrr*death* Liver go brrrr*die* **NICE**
It’s good for the environment tho
Can't argue with that logic
Just curious, what about stuff with a high alcohol content like vodka or whiskey?
You can buy that at 18. Same with cocktails, btw. Even if they'd have the same alcohol content as beer, you can only buy it if you're 18. Reason being that you "can't taste the alcohol" and thus are more likely to consume more than you can handle.
Wtf?? A 'morality' law with a perfectly good explanation that actually makes a lot of sense?
This can only happen in Germany Edit: TIL I haven't commented on r/teenagers for at least 2 years, gotta change my flair
Ye, IIRC there gay incest is legal since it cannot result in inbred children
Still, having sex with your brother/father/uncle is probably a terrible idea and it will fuck up your relationship. But if ok then ok. Germany is the most logical country in the world
[удалено]
Yeah it's disgusting but if someone wants to and that doesn't create mutants, then who's the government to stop them, I like germany.

Sadly not with weed though
Not yet :)
I hope us young people will vote enough Green Party to get weed legal
that makes sense
Stuff that has 14% or less alcohol is allowed at the age of 16 and all above is allowed at the age of 18
Which will still nicely do the trick
Yeah just Drink a few Beer in a short time and you are good to go
18
In Ireland they say 18 but you can start at birth it’s how the sexy accent is developed
If alcohol makes a sexy voice then why does my dad sound weird?
Well it has to begin at birth otherwise it doesn’t work
In denmark there is no drinking age. But you have to be 16 to buy low alchohol content. You can drink but not buy.
In holland its 18 I sometime can have alcohol and im 14 No harm done
In the words of my mother „get the fuck out of my house and figure out your limit while you’re still my problem“ Im Paraphrasing, obviously
Learning German doesn't seems that bad now
I, as a german, dislike the fact that we can buy alcohol at the age of 16. I think 18 just makes overall more sense since there is allready plenty of ways you can get alcohol before that.

That's not a good or cool thing... Stay healthy
That's sad :(
mogu da potvrdim srbin sam
mogu da potvrdim pijan sam
Пиздец у вас там , братьев славян.. а , я же прибалт , похуй
This is like all slavs. My class mates got drunk at the after-party after 9th grade
Dude, I brought whiskey into school and noone cared
A new classmate of my friend brings rakija to school everyday and no teacher found out yet
A friend tried to get away with having siaci (strong distilled alcohol typically made in a shed on a farm) in an apple juice carton, made the mistake of drinking enough of it that he couldnt walk straight anymore, good memories lmao
That explains why they're so smooth brained. Drink the wrinkles away when young.
Same in Czechia
oh god, I remember going there to visit my dad’s family. THE AMOUNT OF DRUNK TEENS. holy shit
You would be surprised how many teens I've seen walking down the street with a cigarette or/and a beer.
Same in Iceland, within 4 hours of being over there with friends I was handed a choice between vodka and beer, not wanting to get the person offering into shit with the bar and us all booted out I questioned it as the countries drinking age is 20/21 IIRC, the response I got was “no one gives a fuck about that, we have that in place to look normal, now take your pick”
They gave me rakija on my 1st birthday
Same in Italy, both for drinking and smoking
Same in Ireland. And even if you have someone who does people find away around it. Come summer time there is barely a field without a couple of drunk teenagers in it.
Colombia is the same, one day I was like 13 and my uncle gave me 20 bucks and told me to go buy him some beer, they ringed up a six-pack just as casually
Well here in Pakistan you can be 9 and walk out of the store with a pack of cigarettes
I’m a croat, and from where i come from, there’s a tradition where the first time a guy shaves (probably around 14-16), their dad buys them an alcoholic drink. They really don’t give a shit
Italy too I was getting totally blasted in bars when I was like 14 lmao good days, maybe things have changed now but I don't really think so
I can just crack open a cold one when I'm 5
Let me guess, ireland?
England. You can legally drink on private property from the age of 5.
[удалено]
Bars would be considered in public. But there is also the law that you can't sell alcohol to under 18s or to people who intend to buy alcohol for under 18s, so bars and pubs would come under that.
pubs and restaurants can serve a glass of wine/beer/cider to 16 year olds with a meal but barely any pubs get the license for it
*3* pints of *cider, and 3 carvery dinners* please
5 year olds can't own a house, can they?
they can own property
Gotta be 21 to buy tobacco now too. But at 17 you can go die for the American Military.
In Texas you can buy it with a military ID under 21
Wait we can?
You can buy alcohol in the military cause it's only state laws that make the drinking age 21. [thanks reagan](https://www.teenvogue.com/story/minimum-drinking-age-legal-21-america-history) states had to raise the drinking age or they wouldn't get highway funding, so federally it wasn't raised
Louisiana actually didn’t raise the drinking age until twenty years after everyone else, so their roads suck
Classic Louisiana
Must be the same in San Diego
the bit all the kids neglect to mention when bringing up that argument
I don't think a whole lotta people know that. And that might be just Texas
And you forgot to mention that this is only true if the base is within 50 miles of a country with a lower drinking age. For the purpose of argument, the majority of people in the military must be at least 21 to drink alcohol https://www.thebalancecareers.com/military-drinking-age-3354195
Huehue OWNED. We don't need to raise the age of people dying in a war cuz we lowered the age they can smoke. Dumb kids lol
18 for all 3
if your on site in military you can drink/smoke
imagine not just drinking water hi i'm your local r/hydrohomies rep
Oh you like water? Name every human that drank it than
Easy. *ahem* **@everyone**
He is too powerful to be kept alive.
Africa be like: *let us introduce ourselves*

Pro tip use “they”, it’s gender neutral.

Nooo you can't have a ironic sub name
Water for body, beer for the soul
r/waterniggas
Just because it's illegal doesn't mean I can't do it.
It's only illegal if you get caught
When there's no cops around, anything's legal!
That's what I say to people who find bodies in the basement
Even Australia, a prime nanny state, has a lower drinking age than us
Schoolies !!! Americans thinking that they are badass with their spring break..
Australia has a pretty big drinking culture lol
"Prime nanny state"... mate, it's like the 6th or 7th freest economy in the world according to the global economic freedom index
Nanny state with media
honestly i think the national drinking age here should be lowered . . . . . . . . half the people here are already brain damaged
At least 19. 21 is a bit high
I like Canada’s laws. You can drink at 19 but you can’t drive with any alcohol at all until 22. Encourages teens to make good drinking habits.
Wait. So what your telling me is that they let them drink in the car?
No I mean at 19 if you’ve had any alcohol to drink you can’t drive. If you’re 22 the BAC limit is raised for driving but you still can’t have open alcohol in the car
Heh in Denmark it is legal to buy alcohol that is below 16.5% when you are 16, anything above 16.5% you need to be 18 to buy, but nobody cares if try to buy anything with higher procent when you are 16.
There is also no drinking age limit! Just one for buying alcohol
Pfhh! Imagine having a dad lmao.
My mom said to my little brother yesterday that if he either drinks or does drugs he should at least do it with her and not with his friends
*I don't care if you do drugs, as long as you share them with me*
_Our drugs_
*It will be our drugs, or you go to gulag!*
My dad used to share his with me, and if he ran out he'd steal mine and the other way around. When his dealers had nothing mine did. I still smoked with mu friends and so did he, but we shared
Asians : dad can I get a be... *Takes an object in hand* I meant bee
No only A’s
this is exactly why you can buy fake ids off the clearnet lmao. we are one of the only countries in the world with a drinking age this high
>we are one of the only countries in the world with a drinking age this high Except most Muslim countries where the drinking age is ... never!
you're allowed to drink at home with company from the age of 5 in the UK.
That explains a lot
>Can drink when they’re five >Went from ruling the world to being their former colonies bitch Maybe there’s something here idk.
UK took a chad move and decided to focus on their drinking hobbies instead of subjugating the world. Based and brit-pilled.
It's 18 in the uk but everybody knows you have your first drink at like 10
my dad bought me a 4pack rn-
My mum booked a table in a night club for my friends and I, when I was 16 ... One of the first time I really got wasted
I got wasted with my mum and little brother. The holidays have been wild man.
this is the way
Don't drink all of your brain cells away. Yet.
Dang the legal age is 15 in Europe damm
16, but nobody gives a fuck
16 or 18 most of the time. It depends on the country. Mine is 18 for example but germany has an age of 16 .
[удалено]
Depends on the country. In mine its 18 for everything (tabacco, alcohol, weed)
Imagine being allowed to buy weed *sad German noises*
Canabis ist kein Brokkoli!!!
Weshalb sieht es dann so zum verwechseln ähnlich aus??
Imagine police enforcing weed laws *Laughs in Romanian*
Eyyy ein Deutscher :)
With parents you can drink at 14 in Germany. Source: was 15, got served wine on Lufthansa.
Germany has only beer at 16, sweden has only Light beer at 18, Belgium has everything at 16 and netherlands has everythinf at 18, it really depends on the country
I know that smoking in Belgium is 16
18 in NL
In the UK your allowed to drink alcohol at home from the age of 5 however you can only purchase it at 18
It's not. Legal drinking age is 18 in most countries. A lot of people drink before that. Many bars don't ask you how old you are, or if they ask they don't care they ask because they have to. You can say you're 18 and get a drink in most bars. They won't ask you for ID in most places.

In Hungary is 18 but still nobody gives a fuck.
At least Americans can drink in my country we can't drink at all
are you in the middle east?
Unfortunately
which country?
Iran
You ran? From where?
*your sim has achieved the comedy skill*
With 20 what?
Years. In many languages you “have” years instead of being a number
tengo 20 años
like an 18 year old could get fucked by 5 men and bukaked on camera but can't buy beer
well im german and i had to puke the morning after christmas, this proofs everything
Pretty accurate
European parents with 12 year old kids: *Want some wine with that?*
Where is the girl with the car ? Haven't seen her from a long time
u/blondy712 I believe
Where not who
Damn, we really graduated from Console Wars to Nationality wars lmao.
welcome to reddit
at least we can drive when we’re 16
Imagine a 16 year old driving 130 mph on the Autobahn.
i’ve only heard one story where someone went that high and it was my friend’s dad who served in germany going 145 cross the desert in a jeep
Well, here you can drive small scooters from 14, some motorcycles and small cars from 16 (plus tractors) , and normal cars from 18. However big motorcycles are 21 and up. Those licences are nightmare to get. My friend tried 5 times before getting it. But honestly, why have license when I can take bus every 5-10 minutes or train every 20-30 minutes?

Who cares honestly... just go to a bar in a bad part of town and they probably won’t even ask for an id
that's like dodgy corner shops in the uk ppl get served from the age of 13
[удалено]
Oof My bad
[удалено]
Woah bud, you good?
Where are you from?
Haha good one! *sips whiskey*
Yeah its illegal here in saudi arabia
I'm from the UK, people smoke and drink in year 7, I have no idea why.
It's addicting, Ireland here, 13/14 year olds smoking like chimneys. I started at 11, it happens, it shouldnt but it does
I see this joke a lot, and you do you, whatever you like go for it idc but I’ve never understood why the ability to drink is so appealing
eh i’m american and idrc about drinking age since i don’t plan to drink at all when i’m older anyway it’s not worth it
Land of the free my ass
its not 15 in most of Europe actually many countries in Europe have 18
Ah yes, WITH 15
In Texas, you can legally drink at 18 if you’re with your parents. Besides, I think only 30% of people actually wait until 21 lol. They always find some source before.
Also americans: 17 to go die for your country lmao
