Under the German law parents can authorize their kids' alcohol at any age. From the age of 16 teenagers are entitled to buy alcohol up to 15% Vol. This includes beer, wine, sparkling wine & hard lemonades. Hard liquor, etc are from 18 years old. In Europe, most parents can sit down with their child and have a beer or glass of wine in the privacy.
I don´t understand why there´re high drug users in USA than Europe when there´re strict law in America? Why? BECAUSE it´s easier for under 21s to get illegal drugs cheaper than alcohol because the dealers do not check their ID. It´s no good.
I beleive it´s meanfuling for teenagers to learn how to handle the responsible than late. If you start drinking at 21, you´re going to have problems, because you´re new at it. If you start drinking at 18, you´re going to have problems because you´re new at it.
The young people learn to improve their mistakes is a part of growing up. They will never learn if you keep on punish or forbidden them etc. They will go with wrong crowd to try anything out of curiously. It´s too depression atmosphere when they hide more from strict law, rules, force to lie etc. It could lead them drugs or drinking problems. That´s why I beleive early drinking models devellopment is the best result is a socializing with alcohol are safer than the strict laws. Teenagers could have a very positive and learn their development what right or wrong than learn later. How? Educating younger drinkers how to do it responsibly. Its teach moderatoin and responsible drinking at at very early age.
We have strict and severe harsh punishment including the loss of driving license for break traffic law accord German law, that´s why the people know their drinking limits when they are driving. Penalties for drunks driving start with blood alcohol limit as low as 0.03. If you have an accident due drinking or drugs means is ban driving license for long years or forever. The people know if they want drinking then not drive - also not under influence of drugs, too because it´s illegal.
One thing, I donät understand why US teenagers are allow to drive at an early age but why can´t they also to be responsible about drinking and driving at an earlier age? I would say age 18. I can´t see the sense why the US government makes it look like they have no trust in their youth people?
We have wines, spirits and beers in our basement because we are wine lovers. My children never touch them because they knows that they are free to taste wine or beer whatever they like when they see us drink. We let our children drink with meals if they really want to ( in the moment they don´t like wines and beer). Remember, beer and wine were foods.
Of course we are going to teach our childre to drink responsiblly. We rather have our children party at our house than out in the boonies with wrong crowd ....

That's crazy! No 16 years olds are mature enough to drink. 
What's so fun about getting drunk out of your mind at the age of 16?
