Grew up in South America and underage drinking, though illegal in theory, is pretty much the norm.
in Germany at 16 it is not underage drinking, you can legaly buy beer and wine.
yes, but leo is 16 in this image, and 16 is nit underage drinking in germany. and 15 is underage, too, isn’t it? it happens a lot and is nothing positive, but here we are 🤷
I grew up in the US, and the only person I know who didn’t drink as a 15 year old is a 33 year old who still doesn’t drink. Lol.
Interesting. I’m in Australia now and people here actually do respect the law when it comes to drinking. If you are under 18, it’s unlikely you will be able to buy alcohol or get into a nightclub etc. It would be shocking to hear someone got pissed drunk at 15, whereas where I come from that isn’t the case.
From OPs post I presumed US would be more like Australia in that regard, but, I take your word
With the exception of fake IDs, I don’t know if anyone getting into nightclubs or most bars. Occasionally there’ll be a shitty gas station that’ll sell kids beer, but they get shut down pretty quick. It’s mainly kids getting drunk with other kids in garages, at house parties, in the woods, et cetera, because one of them has an older brother, or is dating an older person or something.
That might be more to do with your social circles. There was a shit ton of teenage drinking happening when I was in high-school.
I lived in Straya my whole life. I remember being 12 and my 13 year old buddy getting fucking drunk as hell on his dads beers during a massive party. It was a rural area though.
Most people I knew started in college. 15 is a bit young. Only knew a handful of partiers who drank in high school.
As a non-American, every single American teenage movie I’ve ever watched tells me this is untrue.
I mean getting alcohol for an underage party is the whole plot of Superbad.
