wyterabitt You can. You can legally drink alcohol, inside your home, with your parents’ permission, from the age of 5. I mean, there’s literally no way to stop that. The parents have allowed it in that circumstance so it’s not like they’re going to call the police on themselves.

[@wyterabitt2149]

@@nelliesnose5648 You don't seem to understand, if you let a child regularly drink or get drunk that would be bad. People seem to think that laws work in isolation and that there is nothing to it, it reminds me when people found out about old laws such as being able to shoot a Scotsman in certain cities that were still genuinely on the books. It doesn't matter though, other laws prevent it in spite of that being a genuine law. If a child took a sip of a drink here and there, or had a just barely alcoholic drink with a tiny bit of alcohol then yes no other law would get in the way of the "allowed at age 5" law. If you allow a child to be drinking like an adult and getting drunk, you are getting arrested, you are going to court, and you are facing at least the possibility of prison/losing the child - and rightly so. The excuse that nobody will find out doesn't change what is legal. If you shoplift and get away with it, it doesn't mean what you did was legal!!

[@nelliesnose5648]

wyterabitt I’m not an idiot. I’m fully aware of the fact that laws on their own are not set in stone - there are branches off of them in every direction. Other than that, I’m afraid you’re just incorrect. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to buy alcohol, as the both of us probably know. But it is legal for anyone over the age of 5 to drink alcohol of any volume. The only arguments against this are moral, or health and safety ones. Any pub landlord is allowed to stop a parent from giving their under-18 alcohol on the premises. Police possess the power to confiscate alcohol from an under-18 in a public area. Note ‘confiscate’, it is merely that. Along-sides this, CMO (medical officers) advise parents against allowing their under-18 to drink alcohol. They claim it is better for their health. They believe an ‘alcohol-free childhood’ is the healthiest, and believe if a parent should wish to give their child alcohol, they should be at least 15. This is all advice, however, and nothing to do with the law. The police have the power to charge 18+ who are known to be giving alcohol to those _under_ the legal drinking age. Five.

I still can’t drink cider after a particularly crazy session aged 13 and my stepdad had to carry me home on his back. When I went downstairs the next day expecting to get bollocked my mum and dad were like ‘weeeeyyyy! How’s your head?’ And taking the piss out of me. They were gutted to find out I had no hangover, probably because I vomited every trace of cider out of my body the night before.

[@poluki]

In Germany you're allowed to buy alcohol and drink it legally at 16. Even in public. Never understood America tho

[@petejammo88]

poluki it’s because the brain is still devolving before it the age of 21 and the damage that alcohol does to cells is worse before the age of 21. So there is a legitimate reason they have drinking age of 21.

[@poluki]

@@petejammo88 Yes, but the rest of the world doesn't have this age restriction.

[@petejammo88]

poluki and what? The reason behind it is still legit no matter what age restriction the rest of the world has

[@poluki]

@@petejammo88 I never said it wasn't legit. If people really cared about the development of the brain, they would be stricter with the age restriction.

[@stancooksj]

While child development and health reasons were a consideration, that wasn’t the main reason. The real reason why is because of Prohibition and certain other political agendas like Mothers against Drunk Drivers (MADD) since the Reagan administration. In other words the government controls how we drink. Most Americans are just used to it because that’s just the way it’s been, plus it’s the law, but underage drinking is pretty much prevalent nationwide. You just don’t hear too much about it. If American teens really want alcohol, they’ll get it.

Thing about the yard of ale is... It's meant to be ale, not lager, which is what that looks like. Ale, unlike lager, is flat and therefore a lot easier to drag down. Should've done a shoey as well, where you drink a pint out of your boot.

Ginger all of Europe has a metric road system and we are taught kilometres and miles in schools as well as how many km are in a mile and we’re expected to be able to convert miles to km. The fact you think buying legal cannabis helps you know what a kilometre is, is tragic

[@disoriented1]

LOL!...we know what a 1 liter and 2 liter size is...Coke (and other soft drinks) are sold in those sizes and then in 20 and 16 ounce and smaller Imperial (customary) sizes. Industry and science uses SI in the U.S., it's just most USAer's don't use SI in everyday use. I speak with friends in the U.K. who still use miles for distance, feet and inches for height, pounds for weight. I have no problem with System Internationale..I know what a meter is intellectually..but it's like a foreign language to me..I have to convert mentally to use it...2 meters is roughly 6 feet. Unless you're doing precise measurement in daily use..the Imperial system is sufficient for us 'Duhmericans' :) I understand the French ridiculing us for using Imperial, but not the British..when they aren't using SI fully themselves!

[@ajs41]

Isn't there a federal law saying you have to be 21? I think before that, some states had an 18 limit, like Maine or Vermont.

[@laurenblachford1501]

Andy JS yea that’s why it’s so confusing as a brit (especially when visiting) the different laws state to state, especially when it comes to alcohol

[@gwillis01]

@@ajs41 Yes there was a law passed several years ago that in order to continue getting superhighway repair funding from the federal government, each state had to raise its minimum drinking age to 21. However, there are several other laws about alcohol that vary from state to state. In some states, it is illegal to sit down on the sidewalk just outside the store where you bought the alcohol a minute ago and start drinking it. Some states have no such rule. The rules for what is a proper punishment for operating a motorized vehicle while under the influence of alcohol vary wildly from state to state. Sometimes the rules are different for a second offense and sometimes they are not. Sometimes a person is totally banned from driving a car for a year after multiple arrests. In some states, the worst that can happen is that you receive a highly restricted driver's license. You are supposed to be arrested for illegal driving if you are not doing option number one: driving to or from the place you told the judge you work at or the other option : to or from your officially chosen house of worship.

[@ajs41]

@@gwillis01 Here in the UK you can usually drink wherever you like, walking along the street for instance, and many cafes and coffee shops serve alcoholic drinks. Pretty much all shops sell beer and wine, like gas/petrol stations. You can also drink in a car as long as you're not driving. I've heard that in some American states the passengers in a car are not allowed to drink alcohol. 16 year olds can be served beer, wine and cider in restaurants as long as they're having food and are with someone 18 or older.

The drinking age here in the US used to be 18 as well. However there was an epidemic of drunk driving in the 70’s. As a result the federal government passed a law requiring states to raise their drinking age to 21 or they would not receive federal subsidies for transportation projects. Minors also can still drink in most states if they are physically with their parents.
