Is Alcohol banned in the french equivalent of a high school? It certainly is not here in Austria. 17 year olds drinking beer between their late afternoon class

Is Alcohol banned in the french equivalent of a high school? It certainly is not here in Austria. 17 year olds drinking beer between their late afternoon classes is not unheard of and often tolerated.

Lycée would be the equivalent of high-school, with a typical age of 15-18 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_education_in_France https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_education_in_France).

Why would it not be tolerated? They are almost grown up. If they are considered mature enough to make their driver's license, why wouldn't they be allowed to drink?

  They're also old enough to have sex, but they probably aren't supposed to do that at school.

      Not clear if they're doing it at school or outside of school. If the latter, the analogy doesn't apply.
