I really like how Germany solved the drinking age problem: you can drink beer and wine at 16 and hard liquor at 18. This gives you a safety net to experiment with alcohol. You won't drink yourself into a coma with beer and you aren't allowed to drive till you are 18.
- ciceryadam 8y ago"You won't drink yourself into a coma with beer" - it only takes more time. 1st google result on oktoberfest passed out: https://coed.com/2015/09/16/oktoberfest-best-drunk-photos-octoberfest-funny-pics https://coed.com/2015/09/16/oktoberfest-best-drunk-photos-oc...
- Matthias247 8y agoYou can certainly drink yourself into coma with beer. Teens drinking 6-10 beers is not an uncommon thing at parties at that age. That said practically the 16/18 distinction also isn't that important. If you are 16, you typically hang out also with some people that are >= 18, and which will then buy the other things. People might not necessarily start drinking with hard liquor, but the time to it is typically not 2 years. Source: I'm german, and had been 16 and 18 a long time ago.
