here in Canada it's 19 years old to buy and drink beer.
[QUOTE=Jugger;32097684]I live in California, I don't know if the legal drinking age would be different in any other state, but here in CA you have to be 18, I believe, to be able to buy alcoholic beverages.[/QUOTE]
Are you a fucking dumb ass? It's 21 everywhere in the United States.
21 here but I always give $60+ to my older friends, tell them to grab some Guinness/JD+Dr Pepper for me and they can keep the extra for gas money/whatever they want.

Sad friends lol I never charge extra when buying for younger friends.
USA,
It's not so much the liquor itself, it pisses me off that I can't enter a bar because of my age while people can get away with so much more stupid shit elsewhere. Sucks to share your age-group with a bunch of retards.
America:
Where you're 18, you can put your life on the line and fight for you're country,
Where you can vote for the next leader that can change your country,
but where you have to be older to drink a certain liquid in your country.
18 or 21 in Canada, depending on the province.
I live in Alberta so it's only 18 here.
[QUOTE=Diealready;32097380]18 in Manitoba.
Am I the only one that thinks alcohol tastes horrible?[/QUOTE]
What kind of mad bastard drinks alcohol, it's basicly like drinking poison. You use it to clean wounds and disinfect hands for fecks sake.
19 in Ontario.
[QUOTE=Stormcharger;32101444]Sad friends lol I never charge extra when buying for younger friends.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, if you have older friends who does that, then you should just find someone else to buy alcohol from. Not fucking worth it.
18 or 19, varies by province
some provinces have exceptions made for drinking with a legal guardian
[QUOTE=Tukimoshi;32099616]Hm, What about age limits on stronger alcohols? I mean, a 16 year old shouldn't be buying absinthe anyways, but a few beers won't kill them. That'd be an interesting system.[/QUOTE]
Actually, anyone can buy alcohol with 1,2% or less but you have to be 18+ to buy alcohol with 16,5% or above. But the it is fairly new rule, so not everyone abides by it.
[QUOTE=Diealready;32097380]Am I the only one that thinks alcohol tastes horrible?[/QUOTE]
that's why you mix it with non alcoholic beverages so you can have an even flavour of both
also, mixed drinks are amazing, especially tropical fruit mixed with vodka, liquor, brandy and stuff like that

Its like that in germany.
It's 16 for light stuff like beer and 18 for wine and harder stuff.
18, but sometimes, even when you're 18, you can't buy it. That's not the law; that's over-paranoid supermarket staff who think your driving license looks 'a little bit dodgy' even when it's legitimate. Sainsburys are a prime example of this. Screw Sainsburys.
Legal drinking age is 18 years for anything under 20% ABV. 20 years for anything stronger.
But people grow out their whimpy peach fuzz mustaches at 14 to look older and try buying it anyway.
[QUOTE=Carne;32089903]18 for everything under 30% I believe.[/QUOTE]
Everything under 21% are 18
Over is 21 i think.
[QUOTE=Shoopiwoop;32107368]Everything under 21% are 18

No, you can get hard liquor at age 20.
18 to buy. 16 to drink cider and beer.

I would much prefer this system for the UK tbh.
18.
But you can drink legally on private property if you're 10+.
Shockingly we learnt that from the cops who were called because one of our parties was too loud and the neighbour knew we were all underage.
18 for bars (that allow 18-year-olds) and alcoholic beverages that are at most 22%.
20 for the stronger stuff.
Here in Scotland the legeal age for buying is 18, but most people drink long before that, our drinking culture is as bad as Irelands...
Here in England the legeal age for buying is 18, but most people drink long before that, our drinking culture is as bad as Scotlands...
Your parents can buy you alcohol at any age, but you must drink it at home.
Otherwise it's 18, but everyone gets drunk often much earlier, the police never enforce the 'don't drink a bag of goon in the park' laws.
You can legaly consume alcohol with 16 years at a bar here. Although harders stuff like Whiskey is 18 or at some pubs 21.
21, but I only ever drank 3 or 4 times when I was 18
16 for beer etc and 18 for liquor.
The drinking laws and education methods surrounding drinking in the US are rather silly. All they lead to are high school aged kids binge drinking out of control irresponsibly, causing all sorts of accidents and injuries.
The worst is freshman year of college, since alcohol is much easier to acquire than in high school. My dorm floor alone my freshman year had 5 hospitalizations in the first two months of school due to alcohol related maladies.
