Depends on the area, there are some where it's legal to drink outside as long as it's from a local business

I think you have Germany confused with Czechia

I think we're pretty average and it's even on the decline.

Unfortunately alcoholism problems are worse here in Germany than the US. Many point to the early drinking ages for this, personally I see it is more a general cultural issue.

You stop drinking alcohol mostly at 21 I feel like.

Its much better to find your limits at 18...

I grew up in the US, and the only person I know who didn't drink as a 15 year old is a 33 year old who still doesn't drink. Lol.

in Germany at 16 it is not underage drinking, you can legaly buy beer and wine.

That's the official age for stronger alcoholics. Most 16 year old already drink the hard stuff.

Was "fuck your liver" as in "once is enough to fuck your liver" or as in "do this every day over a month to see any significant damage" kind of thing.

Same in Denmark. It was 15 until recently. We also held the record for teenage drinking for a long time, and still hold "most average alcohol per session" or something.

Yet we are statistically one of the "happiest" countries in the world. And take the most antidepressants!

Also in Sweden: if your 5 year old and her friends wants to do vodka shots for their tea party, you can just go ahead and pour some for them.

Had the pic not had had people ass covering a whole ass side, how had you'd feel?

Funny story about that.

When I was a kid, 15+ years ago, my parents told me about somebody that did that here in Texas with their son.

The father took his underage son to a restaurant and was able to get him a beer. During the meal, the father went to the bathroom and the son took a drink of his beer. A cop was sitting nearby and arrested the kid for underage drinking because the father wasn't in the presence of the son so it was no longer "supervised".
