How old must you be to drink alcohol in Europe?

Question

Just wondering :P

Answer 1

To buy alcohol in the UK and/or drink it you have to be 18.

Shops have to ask for ID if you are trying to buy alcohol and look under 21. Once ID is shown that proves you are over 18 the alcohol can be purchased.

Some pubs/bars can deny entry to people under certain ages. For example, a pub near me is called Infernos and is 25s + only.
