Drinking ages in spain and italy.?

Question

i've looked around other questions but i keep getting mixed reviews so just gonna ask myself.

what are the drinking ages in italy/spain and if your underage can you still go into bars/clubs and is it easy to get alcohol.

Answer 1

Spain: You must be 18 to drink or buy.

But: no one cares if you're not 18 as long as you look like you are. In some parts drinking in the street is not allowed. In big cities you're asked for your ID if you want to get into a club, but you're not asked for it in most bars. If you want to get alcohol, go to one of these chinese shops and they'll sell it without questions.

Answer 2

italy is 16

spain is 18.  the legal age to drink there is 16, but in order to buy it you must be 18+.  

both italy and spain are threatening to raise the age to 18.

and as for getting into clubs, it's not hard.  you just say you don't have your id (if they even ask), and they'll let you in either way.  they're both really carefree about who enters the clubs.

Answer 3

I don't know which France John McGrawl has been to but the legal drinking age in France (purchase and consume) is 16 (including in private but it's not enforced in private). Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult in bars.

Spain - 18 (only the seller can be prosecuted)

Italy - 16 in bars, no age in shops, not enforced for beer.

Answer 4

whatever you get away with is what it is

Answer 5

i didn't think they had one... At least, the last time I checked they  didn't... France certainly doesn't - I'm fairly certain those romantic countries don't have limits...

Answer 6
