Answer 5

You need to be 18 to buy alcohol (except beer and wine in bars) in France, so you drink nonalcoholic things when you're teenager. In parties, many people drink beers and high alcoholic drinks (whisky, rhum, vodka...). Bad wine is very cheap in France but not a good one, we call it ''gros rouge qui tâche'' (big red which soils) (awfull, noby except real alcoholic people can drink it). We (French people) prefer one bottle of good wine than two of bad one. Young people don't really drink wine at all, it's more something you do when a eat (with friends or family), Champagne (which is really expensive) is just for real events like marriage, birth, very good news, Christmas, first day of the year...

Nonalcoholic drinks are the same that which fund everywhere (coke, fruit juices...). We have two drinks more specific in France, the first is "fruit syrup", a very visquous and sweet liquid you dillute in water. It exists for most fruit, the most popular are mint and lemon. In a bar, it's called "[aroma of the syrup] à l'eau". The second one is called "diabolo", it's this kind of syrup dilluted in limonade.
