Post your countries alcohol laws

In Germany, there are 3 drinking ages: 14 – minors are allowed to consume beer or wine with their parents or legal guardian. 16 – minors are allowed to consume and buy beer or wine without their parents or legal guardian. 18 – adults are allowed to consume and buy distilled alcohol.

I think its the same here

21 and strict about it
pretty retarded tbqh

We had a few american exchange students here who were all 16-18 at the time and their parents made our host families promise them that none of them would drink any alcohol.

I imagine that many people who turn 21 don’t know how to handle alcohol and then end shitfaced in hospital

Was really weird because we went to the Oktoberfest with them and while all of us got drunk and had the time of our life they just kinda sat there and waited

Don't know about the drinking at 14 thing but the rest is exactly the same.
Not that anyone gives a shit really, it's not unusual to drink your first beer at 12 and when i was 14 beer was a regular thing at birthday parties.

You can also drink in street here. Even if they catch you drinking on public transport they will only tell you to stop.

They know how to handle an full auto assault rifle but alcohol is alien to them

You would think but instead we just have an unhealthy culture of teenagers binge drinking hard liquor on Friday and Saturday nights.

When we went to visit them we went to a shooting range once
it was pretty fun desu

Is the cops busting a party and arresting teenagers left and right a regular thing or does that only happen in the movies?

Drinking hard liquor is not a problem if you know how to handle it properly, I guess the taboo of alcohol in America just makes it cool drinking yourself into coma. In Germany you are seen as an idiot if something like this happens.

>18: allowed to buy alcohol up to 20 volume %
>20: can buy stronger products

Same.

Basically no one gives a fuck

Kek, actually I’m not very surprised by this fact.

Does finland have as high of an alcohol tax as the other scandis?
a lot of people fron denmark and sonetimes even sweden come here just to buy alcohol

it's relatively common. But more often it's just a group of people doing it, not a party. So no cops get involved.

2 years ago the law changed
Over 18, they can drink whatever they want or buy.
Below that age, only drinking at home with parents.

Teens were starting to skip school just to go drinking

It varies between provinces
>Most provinces are 19 for all liquor
>Some provinces are 18
>lots of northern towns have outright bans on alcohol, and require a permit to import each individual drink, even if it's only for personal consumption.

why are protestants Wahhabi tier when it comes to alcohol consumption? Catholics were never like that.

The northern prohibitions are basically due to natives abusing alcohol too much

>lots of northern towns have outright bans on alcohol, and require a permit to import each individual drink, even if it's only for personal consumption.
Why? Is the north so depressing that drinking yourself to death is a local tradition?

Here in texas minors can drink with thier parents if they are at home

It's basically because aborginals (majority of the population in those areas) lack the genes for processing alcohol. They can't handle alcohol which leads to extreme alcoholism. People up there literally steal hand sanitizer, and rubbing alcohol, just to drink. Shits fucked

I used to buy entire bottles of vodka when I was 14 with my friends.

Wew lad not even i am that desperate.

You should be happy. Things really are fucked up there

>In Germany you are seen as an idiot if something like this happens.
We have also binge drinking among teens

No. Both us and the Swedes go there. I don't know how it is Denmark vs Finland but we are the worst, and Sweden second.

16 to buy beer, wine and other weak shit
18 to buy anything else

>18-you can consume alcohol up to 22% ABV
>20-you can consume all alcohol
>Alcohol with ABV >4,75% can only legally be sold at a government owned chain of liqour stores called vinmonopolet (literally: wine monopoly) and at bars and nightclubs

Unironically, yes. Natives do it all the time. But the north is very unpopulated, so it doesn't really matter

cops busted our parties but usually they just took our drugs and alcohol and told us to go home.

>Does finland have as high of an alcohol tax as the other scandis?
Yes, all have high taxes. Baltics and Germany is the way to for cheaper alcohol.

I have given up on the importing-thing and just brew my own with next to zero cost.

I think at 15 or 16 you're allowed to have alcohol with your parents, I remember when I was 16ish could have a beer at restaurants if I was out with my parents

but you have to be 18 to buy alcohol yourself

Doesn't look like sugar wine. Did you mix it with some juice?

Looks like good old tomtebrygg. What's it called?

19 almost everywhere except Quebec and a few other places. Where I live highschool kids make their own moonshine and black bread beer in the woods. A 13 year old died from alcohol poisoning a while ago so the cops have started going into the woods and taking the moonshine distilleries and dumping over the mash barrels.
