18 to buy alcohol but it's legal to drink in your own home from the age of 5 (!) I think! You're right though, the uk is a nation of heavy drinkers :P I saw an American stand-up comedian in the UK do his show and one of his jokes was "you mother****ers drink like Americans eat" ;) lol

hmmm doug, i thought it was, we are allowed to drink in out own home at the age of 13 with parents consent and obviously dont drink too much, thats what PC Briginshaw told me when i was at little school.

the actual age of drinking at home with parents consent according to law is 3!!! weird but true. the idea is that they are under the super vision of not only adults but those that wuold be concerned about you gettin yourself into a state.
I'm not mad, just ask my camel steven!!!

i remember when it was 18 for homosexuals..and they we're lobbying to drop the age of consent, looked like it must have worked eh? :)
