The drinking ages of 14, 16 and 18 are pure theory... In the 90s, when I was a teenager in Hildesheim, with 14 or 15 it was absolutely no problem to get hard alcohol on saturday evenings. When we had public "TNT" (Tanznacht Total parties) the gas station sold us beer without any questions. They closed at 10 pm, later in the night a Romanian opened his store for us kids and sold everything we wanted (Vodka, Rum, Barcardi etc). That was not legal, but apparently nobody wanted to see it... I do not know, how it is in 2020, maybe the rules for kids and alcohol have become stricter?

The drinking age used to be 18 in Wisconsin but 21 here in Illinois. SO, we would just cross the border (only 15 miles away). Needless to say there were a lot of fatal crashes along the border. I was in Utah a couple years ago and you had to go to a state liquor store to buy alcohol (beer, wine, booze). The grocery stores only had low alcohol beer. And then there are the "dry" areas of the country. NO ALCOHOL. Not at the store, not in the restaurants, no bars. Everything is taxed to death here in the U.S. I do believe the legal age should be 18. Old enough to register for the draft, join the military, old enough to vote but you can't have a beer. When I was a kid my dad would let us have a small glass of beer with dinner once in a while. His grandparents were born in Germany (hurray!). And as always, enjoy responsibly.

Boys (like me) got a spoonfull of Kur extra ( schnaps from wheat with 32 0/00 ) to stimulate the circulation. Children became joungsters (pre-adults) with the "Konfirmation" at about 14, which included the right to drink anything with the adults.

Remember: It is the the privilege of the youth to go against the rules ! In my opinion it is their duty. So the harsher you start banning stuff, forbid the use, raise the age of alcohol consumption, the more the youth will disregard... and they will do it in an uncontrolled enviorenment. The goal should be to teach the young a reasonable handling of consumption. I am an old fart and therefore adress this matter, prohibition doesn't help the least bit ! As Phil stated, he was 13 and started drinking, which I personally think is exactly the critical age in puberty and the developement of the brain and the body to do so ( quite the same age I started drinking and discovered the 'thrill' of being drunk. I I got it into control within my teenage times, but in a rerorspective view, I wished for the sake of a few friends, there would have been some help ). Very difficult topic and many parts are to be thought about and discussed here.

Geman Retail Store Worker here, sometimes on the cashier: I was always told to go with my gut feeling when a group of young people tries to buy alcohol, but a good checkmark is: How many bottles of WHAT do they try to buy, or would you sell a group of 15 to 17 year olds 20 bottles of cheap vodka because ONE of them is 18? I didn´t and when they had the fucking gall to complain to my manager, she basically threatened them with giving them a ban from entering the store for a while which would have included calling their parents over. Never seen a bunch of rowdy teens shut up so quick. They didnt even take the one bottle she allowed the 18 year old to buy. Regarding locking up fancy stuff: That depends HEAVILY on how many cases of theft you historically had Some stores (mine included) secure every single fucking bottle of popular heavy liquor with a mechanism only a few people can actually unlock, and every other bottle above a certain price point, usually once you pass the 15 or 20 euros mark For example even though Jack Daniels is only about 15 bucks, you´d still see them secured in most places, just because they tend to be the target for thefts

My dad was in the military in the 80s so then if in the military you were allowed to drink at 17. So he drank at 17, 18, 19, and 20 years of age. The year of his 21st birthday they changed the law to raise the drinking age to 21 so for a couple months he couldn't drink. My mom on the other hand lived in Pennsylvania but would visit Virginia a lot and eventually moved there. Pennsylvania changed their drinking age to 21 before Virginia did so my mom couldn't drink in Pennsylvania so she would just go to Virginia and drink there. But Virginia did eventually change the age to 21. My mom is a couple months older than my dad so I think she turned 21 before the whole country changed the age so it didn't really affect her.

I think our German laws around drinking/alcohol are quite ok. Responsibilty has to be leached/learned, but at 21 not many will still take advice. If someone wants alcohol, he will get it somehow, be it by a fake id or from a friend over 21. My parents drank one glass of wine or beer pretty much daily (they were/are from a time where this was totally common), so I tried each of which very early, maybe around 5 or 7 (just one sip). Dry wine or a Pilsner for a kid who´s used to sweet stuff? That left a mark! Guess what - there are not many beers or wines I like and I´m 51 now.. An occasional glass of Sekt if someone´s celebrating or a shot of something just for taste is pretty much all.

Two things: First, 21 became the drinking age in the US in 1984 due mainly to MADD (Mothers Agaisnt Drunk Driving) convincing the Federal Government that it would reduce DUI-related fatalities (the data on this was, and remains, dubious). States had to fall in line with the new law because the Reagan Administration tied compliance with it to federal funding of highway projects. In other words, if a state didn't make the drinking age 21 it could lose up to 10% (I think) of the federal money it got for road repair/construction. Second, I grew up in NH in the mid-80s when the drinking age in NH was 21, but it was still 18 in VT. To say the least, Friday afternoons were a circus as anybody with a van, pick-up, station wagon would take orders from their underaged friends and head for the border. Stores in VT would literally have handcarts waiting because they new what was coming!

Deana, I have family that were born, raised, and still living in Charleston, SC and I remember the time of the “tiny bottle law” there in the “Holy City”. You are maybe too young to remember, but there was a time in Charleston when bartenders were not allowed to mix drinks. They could pour a glass of wine or draft beer, but if you ordered a scotch on the rocks, a glass of ice and one of those tiny airline bottles was delivered to you. My brother once made the mistake of ordering a Long Island Iced Tea, his drink was four times more expensive than anyone else’s because each of the individual little bottles was charged separately. I am also familiar with the beach patrol looking for open carry violations, but know that that law can be waived for special events. I have attended “Art Walk” evenings in downtown Charleston where art galleries would be open, serving wine and snacks, and people could walk between the different galleries carrying their glasses of wine. I think the city also suspends the law during the Spoleto Festival.

But there are some specialized wine and liquor stores with a large selection of expensive liquors. I think the US is crazy with their remainders of prohibition. Germany is maybe a bit too liberal because as you mention there is too much drinking at 13-15. But I don't think stricter laws are the best way to change this. And overall there is less drinking in Germany than in the 70s or 80s I believe. Partly because change of culture/health (and others drugs getting more popular?!), partly because the laws did get more strict wrt to DUI

You forgot another weird state difference in the US - a few states are "State Stores" where there are no private liquor stores. You have to go to a state run store which means when you show ID you are doing it to a state employee. Lying about your age to them is HUGE because it's not just a local ordinance at a store, it's equal to perjury in a court. Pennsylvania is the largest of those states. Because of their size the government of Pennsylvania itself is the world's largest purchaser of alcohol.

She said its not allowed to sell this right now, because I was putting it down on the moving belt thing. Alot of talking later .. like how stupid it is /was ... my Dad walked back to the fridge, took another one and payed .... that was pretty ridiculous at this time. but yea, thats murica. + there was an pretty much old man right infront the lane to buy a six pack of beer, grown man with beard in his 50´s. Even he had to show his ID to buy a pack of beer. pretty funny, we laughed the whole night about that ... idk how to describe that situation kinda sad. For the ones who want to visit the US.

There are several cities where bans on alcohol in public have been implemented (in certain areas or at certain times) or at least proposed because things get a bit rowdy. But it's controversial. In Freiburg a court overturned a ban. In the US it used to be that being drunk was criminalized. But then people argued that being an alcoholic is a disease and that you shouldn't be punished for being sick. That was well intentioned, but it backfired spectacularly.

This may not be a popular opinion but I am in favour of a younger drinking age. The reason being. In States it’s 21. By that time you can vote and you have drivers license. The automatic assumption being your responsible enough to drink. Unless you drank illegally you have no idea how to drink responsibly. Better to learn from parents at a younger age. With people who have your best interest at heart. Instead of being subject to peer pressure.

Odd story, but true: When we were around the age of 8/9 (Germany) near our flat was a playground with a little bench sourrounded by some quite dense bushes. As kids, we were of course sticking our noses everywhere, and we regularly found those mini liquor bottles around there. We did not even know what it was, but there was always a small amount of liquor left in the bottles. It tasted sweet, so we drank it, quite often. Luckily we moved house after a year or so, and I only remembered that incident many years later. That was when I realized that this had probably been the gathering place for some homeless people or people from the nearby psychatric hospital, who left the stuff there. Thanks for asking, yes, despite my "early drinking habbits" I have grown up to be a healthy person :-) Hope those guys are fine, too.

We drink beer instead of water😆 just kidding, it's cheap and very very good quality. I would recommend, always get a beer which is made by local brewery. Every region has it's own brewery and we support out local businesses, so if you are for example in Berlin, buy a local Berliner, or if in München, get a Augustiner, in Braunschweig get a Wolters and so on. I've been on US, and no american beer can even compare to german beer.

the reason alcohol is more expensive in the U.S. is politician are fond of sin taxes. There are both state and federal taxes which often mount to 40 percent of the advertised prices hidden in the price itself , plus sales taxes -- like German's VAT. In Texas for example if order a mixed drink in a RESTAURANT YOU PAY SALES TAX on the drink, plus an additional beverage tax. Posit!

There are such weird differences between the states! In Maryland alcohol can only be sold in liquor stores and a select few supermarkets, so people will go to the Washington, DC Costco to get their huge bottles of liquor. It was really weird for me when I lived in NYC for a summer in college to see alcohol being sold at CVS (which is a pharmacy). And then some states like West Virginia sell some types of alcohol in supermarkets but you cant buy it on Sundays so that section will get blocked off. The county my grandmother lives in in rural Arkansas is a dry county, so there's no alcohol sold there at all. But that really just means that everyone went to the bar right across the county line instead.

dont know if its be written already, but i just wanted to say it. and I write it in german because its to much and I don't know all the words, and it's for Phil´s storry. und zwar, Verkäufer an Tankstellen order in Kiosks dürfen Bier und Weine nicht an 16 Jährige verkaufen, wenn man eindeutig erkenne kann, das der Alkohol nicht ausnahmslos für den 16 Jährigen ist. also durfte der Verkäufer bei der Tankstelle das Bier nicht an deinen freund verkaufen, weil die anderen offensichtlich 15 wahren. würde er alles Verkaufen, kann das schlimme folgen für ihn haben, da es gleich, oder ähnlihc schlimm, geahndet wird als würde er es an die 15 jährigen verkaufen. Falls man das versteht. ein anderes Beispile ist: wenn zwei 15 Jährige kommen und n Bier kaufen wollen, und es nicht bekommen, dann einen 16 Jährigen der vorbei läuft fragt ob er es ihnen kaufen kann, und der Verkäufer das sieht oder bemerkt, darf er es auch diesem nicht Verkaufen.

What surprised me is that Germany is the stereotypical beer drinking country. In fact though, many young people do pregame with liquors or wine. In the US I noticed that beer is way more common, especially when it comes to pregaming, and I saw way more girls in the States having a beer than in Germany, where they mostly get some cockatil etc.

In Pennsylvania you can get beer or malt beverages at a beer distributor or a 6 pack at a bar. For wine and hard liquor you go to a state store or a winery for just wine. They just started offering wines and beers at grocery stores in the last few years. When I was a kid we also had what was called the blue law where alcohol could not be sold on Sunday, but that's long gone.

Also, drinking age doesn't mean the same thing in Germany and in the US. In Germany, there's *NO LIMIT* for legally drinking alcohol. It is *NOT ILLEGAL* for a 10-year-old to drink. Even in public. Whatever the kid wants. But it *is* illegal to let them drink. (And of course also to sell or give them that alcohol) The "Jugendschutzgesetz" only has rules for the adults, not for the kids. In the US, however… you can and (sometimes? often? don't know the stats) will be prosecuted if the cops find you drinking alcohol while being to young.

The legal age in Louisiana was 21 when I was coming up, but they really didn't enforce it. So I was drinking in bars at 18. I joined the Air Force and was stationed in South Dakota. The age was 21 there also, but they strictly enforced it. I got kicked out of the military for underage drinking. What's crazy is I stayed in the dorm and my supervisor heard about it from word of mouth... from a guy who was old enough but called in to work once because he was so drunk he didn't even know where he was! Nothing happened to him! My supervisor even bought me and a guy a few years younger than me beer before, but I hung around other people in the dorm instead of with my coworkers like they did, I'm pretty sure that had something to do with what happened. Yeah, New Orleans is more like a European city than an American one, lol!

I stopped drinking at the age of 10. My parents never really drank alcohol so plenty of stuff down in the cellar. At the age of 7 I discovered that were no dragons and witches down in the cellar so every now and then I went down and took a sip. Usually I didn't liked the taste except Eckes Edelkirsch ( some cherry cream liqueur). When this bottle of liqueur was empty, I was 10 years and I didn't drink any more alcohol until I started university. And still today don't drink sooOO often.
