18.What is the legal minimum age for buying alcohol in your country?
Do you think it is too high or too low?
How old should someone be before consuming alcohol.
Do you agree with those ages for alcohol consumption?It's 18 here in Australia.
16-17 with parental supervision.
That is really ironic, because 23 or 24 was when I drastically cut back on my drinking.Do you agree with those ages for alcohol consumption?
I think 21 is fine because I had to wait until then so everyone else should too!
Really though I didn't start drinking until I was like 23 or 24.

Heavy drinking, or just drinking at all? Because we don't have a legal consumption age here so I used to drink at family functions from when I was like 12. Got drunk for the first time when I was 4 though. Apparently I drank from someone's wine glass when they went to the toilet. Heavy drinking started when I was 18 though since I had moved away from home and was living in a student hostel.When did you start?

Yeah, that is what I have heard too. It didn't really happen that often prior to me moving away from home. Although it really kicked off then. But then by about 23 or 24 I was over it. Although my partner at the time was a big influence on this. Since she confided in me about how she had gone through some personal experiences around alcohol as a teenager so it was difficult for her to be around heavy drinking.Wow, you sure started young! I thought part of the reason most places have age limits is because it negatively effects the development vital organs if consumed too early. I am no doctor though![]()
