Hi :-)
Iam from germany, and young peoples can drink alcohol and make party if they are 16 years old. But at 12 o clock in the evening they must leave the club, and only the older partypeoples over 18 could stay on the party…I think its ok when young people drink some alkohol and have fun with their friends on the weekend, but everything must be well-balanced.Thats life ;-)
