I think as long as you can say "Bier bitte!" (Beer me!) you're OKWww@FoodAQ@Com

My husband was stationed in Germany a year ago, and I was allowed to drink whatever and go into any bar/club and I had just turned 18!. I don't remember seeing any 16 year-olds drinking there, but I also know I wasn't carded anywhere either and I look extremely young!. I know for sure you can drink anything when you're 18, but I'm not sure about 16!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i figure it is 16, as i was 17 when i went there and was able tto drink everything/anything and get into all the bars and clubs, and they did id us at one that i can remember and my id said 17, although i was turning 18 that year it is possible they didnt know how to properlly read canadian ids and just saw the yearWww@FoodAQ@Com

I believe it is 16 for beer and wine and 18 for hard stuff!. However you still have to be over 18 to get into bars and discotheques!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
