> German teenagers who can legally enjoy a pint at the local pub.
Was that an intentional cultural mixup? My brain just stopped working after reading it, because of how little sense it made.
- mschuster91 5y agoIn Germany, you are legally allowed to buy beer and wine at age 16. The result is that most teenagers tend to stick for lower-percentage alcohol and don't go all-in for the hard stuff.
- henrikschroder 5y agoYes, but not in pints, and not at pubs. That's England, not Germany.
