    Hey guys, going on a holiday, just wonderin what the legal drinking ages are in:
    1. England (I am assuming that it is pretty similar to here - Australia - but thought I would check anyway)
    2. France
    3. Spain

    Thanks guys, you are champions

    I have looked around on the web and it seems to be that it is 18 in the UK, and 16 in both France and Spain, but I don't know how reliable this is, maybe its just wishful thinking haha

    Some clubs in the U.K you have to be 21 to get in but most pubs/Bars is 18
    you can go in a pub at 16 if your with an adult but can't drink alchol

    in spain the legal age is 18, but people drink since they are 13 lo!L u can go to a pub at 16 i guess, if they don“t ask you to show them your identity card... and u can get alcohol in shops where chinese people work. if u wanna drink ouside a pub be careful i had to pay 300 euros because me and my friends where drinking in the street.. the police came and put us a faint :( (that was in madrid.. it depends on the city or area u go to )
