It's such a dangerous law, if you think about it.

All right, but what about those kids who die because they can't drink until 16 or 18 in Europe. Did you think of them?

They do what we all did and start drinking at 14 in a park somewhere

We were there, too. At night next to a playground. Lotsa good but also lotsa boring memories there.

In Denmark it's not illegal to drink below the age limit, it's just prohibited to sell alcohol to minors. If your parents buy it for you then it's no problem.

In Germany, we can technically drink at home at any age. Starting at 14, we can even drink in public in our parents' presence.

Giving your young children alcohol could still get you in trouble though for neglect.
