What is the legal drinking age in Zurich Switzerland?

Question

Im going there for my cousins wedding and I was wondering...

Answer 1

It's 16 for wine and beer, and 18 for hard liquor. Although most of the time you can get served beer and wine if you're a little under, like 14 and 15.

Answer 2

Beer from 16 years. The other beverages from 18. Be care full because not in all Cantons the law is the same. For example in the Canton Ticino both are from 18 years. OK?

Answer 3

16 for beer, wine OR cider, 18 otherwise.

But at a wedding you'd likely get away with younger, possibly even legally if your parents agree.

Cheers!

Answer 4

The drinking age for beer and wine is 16 while the age for any other alcool (including "alcopops")is 18. The public consumption of alcohol in Switzerland is legal, so do not be alarmed if you see a group of teenagers drinking a six-pack on public property; this is by no means out of the ordinary and should not be interpreted as threatening.
