Speaking of drinks, what's your favourite one? Good question, not just for John to answer..  So I figured we should just open the bar, choose a topic to discuss and change topic whenever we feel like it. Everybody is free to change the topic, to comment on what others think of the topic and to say whatever he thinks, without insulting/hurting others  |

We get alcohol (beer and wine) with 16 here. Even though I profit from that, I don't consider it a good idea at all because there are lots of twelve-year-olds who look like they were older. They often don't even know what they are doing and think it's fun to get drunk. Stories about kids drinking themselves unconscious have been circulation in the media for months now but it doesn't seem to get better. Drinking means responsibility... I like alcoholic drinks but know when to stop. Can I have some Becks Green Lemon (if you know that... not sure if it's internationally known) or Corona (uuhh that's expensive here) please? LOL laughed about the "thingytail" ;D had the same problem some weeks ago but thought my phone just hadn't accepted the 'other' word. |

of course you can have a corona, we got plenty of that in stock ;D Becks Green Lemon.. would need to know the exact mix before I serve that one to you And yes, underaged drinking happens more often here too, 16 is not much more than a number.. Tho many places are checked upon, to prevent underaged drinking. Yet when it is private property, such as a family party at home, then kids can get alcoholical drinks without fear of being checked upon. There are often short films on television, that warn parents to not let their kids drink, but I doubt that helps much... There are places (barns, caravans, or other buildings) where young people come together and drink a lot before going to a bar or disco, because that's cheaper than getting loaded and having to pay the prices for drinks in a bar. as for responsability and knowing when to stop... that is usually something that comes with experience... which is many times not found amongst the younger people...  |
