Legal drinking age

[Deleted member 77198]

In Britain
It is not illegal:

• For someone over 18 to buy a child over 16 beer, wine or cider if they are eating a table meal together in licensed premises.
• For a child aged five to 17 to drink alcohol at home or on other private premises.

For more information visit our page on buying alcohol.

It does make me chuckle when you see some leery chimp in a kebab shop early evening having an argument with their reflection in the window whilst waving their kebab in the air and getting chilli sauce everywhere. 15 minutes later, they are heaving their guts up in the alley outside.

If only I had 3 hands!!!

Pissed on fosters froth and fruit shoots the fuckin shirkers...!

I thought the current generation of 18-21 year olds are drinking less than all previous generations?

Drinking in pubs probably unaffordable for many youngsters these days, more affordable to smoke some nasty shit or snort coke/ harpic .

They don't drink these days just take illegal drugs.

Aint that the truth. Booze is the drug of choice only for us oldies. For the kids of today, it's drugs.

Spice/K2, that shit supposedly makes you feel like your brain is on fire. At least that's what they said s few years ago. Who knows what the chemists have turned it into at this point.

You won’t stop the national trait of the English to regularly get wasted on booze by legislation.
