    Is drinking age not a big thing in other countries? In the US there would be a drop from 19/20 birthdays and a spike at 21 that drops down again for 22.

      Drinking age is 18 in most of the world (with 16 also applying some places). Additionally, my impression is that it’s not as big a deal for 16-17 year olds to get ahold of alcohol in other places.

      Where I’m from, the drinking age is 18, but it’s not uncommon or a big deal for people to get some beer or drinks for their 17th birthday party.
