I'm the ripe old age of 25. Though between shift work, the missus and a four year old, sometimes I feel like I'm 250.

In Australia the legal age is 18. The popular clubs and bars are quite good at policing it, but really a fake ID or choosing a slack place can get you into most places. Most people I know and hang around with started drinking around 13,14. Id say that most countries would be the same these days.

The government in AUS is going on a massive anti-binge drinking and underage drinking campaign atm. Its all a massive waste of time if you ask me. They aren't going about it the right way and they want stop me having a few beers when I go out on Saturday night.

Like the others said its 18 over here aswell. Drinking here tends to be at bars but also at home a lot too. I started drinking heavily I guess when I was 16-17. Mind Im a well built guy so It didnt effect me all that much.

I'll be 35 in July.

As for the drinking age, in NZ it was 18 to buy from the take-out ('bottle-o' for you Aussies ) and 20 to drink in the pub. Girls get in alot younger of course, as it pulls in the punters, but that was risky business when I was last there.
I always preferrred home-brew myself. I could put down 22 litres of my own 12 percenter for the price of less than two pints in the pub...the pub stuff was like tap water in comparison too.

Yep, you need some experience before you reach the right age

12% beer? That's beyond tripple-bock, mead and some wines. My God!!

Trebor, those are piss water. there was a thread here about the best beers. Take a stroll through the thread and then when your old enough try them.

Of course you may want to try piss beer just as a gauge for the good stuff.

Oh c'mon, Sam Adams isn't THAT bad. Corona, now that's another story. Mexicans should just give up and drink Tookillya.
