Drinking age in London?

Question

I know in London you CAN drink beer at 14, BUT only if in a licensed place that ISNT a bar, and WITH a meal (so a restaurant). but if your 16 and in a restaurant and eating do you have to have your parent there?

Answer 1

no you dont need your parents, just someone over 18 with you

BTW are you talking legal or what actually happens.........

Answer 2

Legally you can't buy or drink any alcohol in any licensed premises until you are 18 no matter who you are with or what kind of establishment it is.

You can legally drink in  private premises e.g. at home with your parents permission under the age of 18

Many Shops, Off licenses and pubs run the challenge 21 rule

meaning that if you look under 21 you will be asked for I.D. to prove you can legally buy alcohol

Answer 3

IT'S ALL here.  at which age you can

Answer 4

Basically if your 18+ you can drink in in whatever bar restuarant you want, and you can buy it too.

But if your sixteen with an ADULT you may be allowed a glass of beer or a glass of wine.

Wherever you go you should have some ID just in case they want some proof :)

hope this has helped! :] x*x

Answer 5

yes u need your parents. the law states you must be 18 to consume alcohol in a pub. i didnt think u could actually drink booze with your meal under that either.

Answer 6

you dont need a parent but someone over 18 has to be there to buy it,otherwise no problem

Answer 7

to be on the safe side just wait till your 18

Answer 8

Yes the same rule applies until you are over 18 I am afraid, at 16 you are still classed as a minor here in the UK! xx

Answer 9

AN APPROPRIATE adult should do?
