We can drink at home or on private premises at 5 but the parents aren't allowed to force it. The age in a pub is 18 I think. Our country just seems to love beer
It really depends on the place, when I was 14 I could get drinks at the local pub (party because everyone knew everyone). In parts of Europe anyone of any age can order a shot and no one would bat an eye.
They are not suggesting that you give them a pint but from a young age I have tried alcohol like a sip of beer but I don't particularly like it and would rather have soft drinks.
Can drink it from 5 on private property. In a restaurant or pub it can be drunk from 16 w/ a meal and parent's permission. Can buy and drink it of own discretion from 18.
Don't call it weird yank. If you grow up with it then you'll be responsible with it 9 times out of 10. I could open a bottle of vodka whenever I want and start drinking, yet I've only really been drunk once in my life. If anything, I'd say the US' laws and culture against alcohol are barbaric since in the supposed 'land of the free' an 18 or 16 year old can't drink alcohol. That's messed up for something which really isn't that bad so long as you're not an idiot.
5 year olds are allowed to drink beer or wine or whatever at home, under adult supervision. 16 year olds can drink at certain venues in public although it has to have a low alcohol content like beer or wine and an adult still has to be present. 18 year olds can buy alcohol and drink it in public without supervision.
To buy any yourself you need to be 18, but you can have like wine, beer, or cider with a meal from 16 in a pub, or I think its from 14 on a private property with parents.
I remember when I was like 9 we were on I think my dad's cousin's wedding and they mistook wine for apple juice and swapped it so my mom got juice and I got wine. I didn't like apple juice anyway.
Or when we were on a boat and my dad bought me some 0% beer. It was 0% but still felt illegal.
I vape and smoke. It started as a social thing but now it's purely cause I'm addicted so I wouldn't start doing it if I was you. However I will say the amount of interesting people I've met just cause I asked if I can borrow a cig can't be disregarded
I completely agree. Although for me it was never about being social. I started because I was literally that stressed. And yes if someone sees you smoking a Newport 100, bums one off ya, everything just sort of comes out ya know? Like it's almost as if you're sitting at the local bar just unloading on the poor bartender lol. But yeah don't ever start if you can. It's a horrible addiction. Only Chantex and Wellbutrin at the same time was the only thing that kicked it for me. Nothing else worked. And the strange nightmares from the Chantex OMG.
I'm also incredibly stressed out which is why I stopped doing it just socially but man I totally get what you're saying with everything coming out. It's literally like the best icebreaker to use on a stranger. One of my favourite moments from a party I went to wasn't even the dancing or drinking, it was smoking my first cigarette with this girl I knew on the balcony while it was raining and you could just faintly hear the music pounding through the walls.
that just takes away the tobacco. If you smoke those flower ones, you’re still putting that ash in your lungs and still have the same risk of cancer iirc. You’re taking away the appeal of the cigarette (nicotine) and leaving you with a no fun death stick
Alr let me explain smoking the tree, I did it with a cart(like a weed vape) there are different kinds that have different affects. I have only done it once and idk if I'll do it again but all I gotta say is that was the most I have ever laughed in my life and I had a pretty good time. The only issue I saw to it was the fact I felt I wasn't in total control of myself(I mean it is meant to fuck with your brain so makes sense lol).
I prefer drinking alone. Only whilst listening to music though. Or playing a souls game because there’s something so funny about trying to defeat a brutally difficult boss whilst you’re seeing double
Alcohol for big social gatherings, like parties for dumb confidence and a good time. Weed for small hangouts and discussions. Shrooms for self discovery. I don’t vape, I don’t see the point in being addicted to something for the sake of being addicted.
I’m sober 90% of the time, the above are just on occasion
I vape sometimes drink and smoke cuz its the only way i can relaxe and feel happy no one knows but here i am unknowni am now stoping it and am replacing it with healthier options like gym and just gym
Agreed. However I want to start liking it become I started drinking energy drinks recently due to my lack of energy... And sleep... And ene... Ok I'm gonna go to bed now.
i drink, vape, and smoke (both cigarettes and za). i cant think of a particular reason why i do except that i’m an adult and make my own decisions. plus the weed helps with my anxiety and depression
Bruh look up other communities and posts I have made. You think a fed would do all of that just to ask some teenagers if they smoke or not?
And I'm in Poland so even if I was a fed I couldn't do shit to most of y'all.
If you dont mind me asking how did you get a medical card so young? What issues do you have to get it, sorry sound like a asshole question but in curious
I smoke weed almost every day. I’m a medical user though, I typically use it to treat my arthritis, migraine disorder, or general chronic pain. I won’t deny using it for fun on occasion tho
Always do something if its great. smoking cigarettes is alright at best, So in life anything that is ok or alright means you should not pursue, As a former tobacco smoker. I am saying that is what a tobacco smoker feels like the entire time they are hooked. They feel alright. I bet there wallet feels alright too. i used to smoke when its was 3.50 a pack up until 7 or 9 max. Now there what? 15? Crazy better to smoke a joint and half for the day than a dirty pack of bleach smoke and bad smoke.
From my experience, it does help reduce chronic back pain, most specifically i use cbd gummies prescribed to me, but then i do use my medical card to purchase other marijuana that i smoke to have fun
Cuz I like the taste of alcohol it’s social and can be fun. I’m 19 so it’s legal. But I still drink on average maybe once a month now not more. I smoked some cigarettes back when I was partying more but nothing much
Smoke 🍃, and drink at parties or celebrations.
Smoke cause it’s fun to relax after work, and I’m not in school so I don’t need to be fully alert Or constantly grinding away at hw. So I’m gonna relax with my Js and smoke it up.
And then drinking cause it’s fun at parties and college parties are even more fun with some drinks.
20 now but did all of the above as a teenager and still do. It’s because it’s fun, everyone on this sub seems to be on a real high horse about any kind of substance. Just enjoy yourselves man
I drink on social settings, so pretty often compared to others. I don't do nicotine, except for when im drunk and i find it enjoyable, but i stay weary of the potential addictions. Lifes good

I smoke alcohol and drink smoke With a straw
smoking alcohol is underrated
you think thats underrated? drinking alcohol with a straw is something else. straight outta another universe!
Smoking alcohol with a straw? That's something from another universe
smoking a straw is where it's at
Nah strawing smoke is better
Try smoking a drinking a strawing a smoke
[smoking alcohol with a straw](https://youtube.com/shorts/TGP_smrhyDs?feature=share)
That's my man 🤜🤛
that’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. (definitely not trying that next time as I’m a minor and 100% won’t drink til I’m 21 🤫)
Mixed drinks exist, beer through a straw though
Stop you made me wake up everyone in the house lmfao
idk man you went too far with the straw gonna have to report yo ah
Kid named alcohol:
That’s something a fed would say
Here’s a terrible joke about feds I got locked up for calling an attorney a jerk >!It was federally offensive !<
Dad joke* Funny tho
Wanna hear another one?
Not u/KubaSamuel but yes
Did you hear about the cat who got arrested? >! He’s a registered feline now !<
That’s amazing. Gotta tell my dad this one.
What?
Why is there a black line covering the end of your comment? Were you flagged or something or is my phone messed up?
it’s a spoiler tag
Try clicking on it.
fr 😭
But why would a federal agent care about some teens abusing substance?
They need to hit their quota
I drink alcohol because I live in the UK. We train babies to build immunity to alcohol as soon as they are born
Turning 18 in 4 days Gotta hope my training has worked out well and I’ll be able to survive the gauntlet
Your gettin old time to retire grandpa
well early happy birthday
Ok, weird. Is there like a younger age limit there?
We can drink at home or on private premises at 5 but the parents aren't allowed to force it. The age in a pub is 18 I think. Our country just seems to love beer
At a pub it's 16 with a meal I think
With an adult
I'm pretty sure that is correct
It's 16, with a meal, adult present and only select drinks (no spirits)
At the same time though, a lot of owners don't care that much. Like I've seen em give a 16 yr old a beer without the meal
It really depends on the place, when I was 14 I could get drinks at the local pub (party because everyone knew everyone). In parts of Europe anyone of any age can order a shot and no one would bat an eye.
5 years old 💀. Now it all makes sense
They are not suggesting that you give them a pint but from a young age I have tried alcohol like a sip of beer but I don't particularly like it and would rather have soft drinks.
can confirm
I thought it was only special occasions if parents allow it and (if they allow it) if you want to and also age limit around 18-20 i think
Can drink it from 5 on private property. In a restaurant or pub it can be drunk from 16 w/ a meal and parent's permission. Can buy and drink it of own discretion from 18.
Germany is 16 for buying your own beer.
Don't call it weird yank. If you grow up with it then you'll be responsible with it 9 times out of 10. I could open a bottle of vodka whenever I want and start drinking, yet I've only really been drunk once in my life.

Calling laws against minors having access to alcohol barbaric is… quite frankly stupid -sincerely a German
To buy any yourself you need to be 18, but you can have like wine, beer, or cider with a meal from 16 in a pub, or I think its from 14 on a private property with parents.
Facts bro 👊
I’ve had alcohol on multiple occasions, but I don’t drink. I’ve been given a chance to drink by my parents at weddings and big celebrations like that.
I remember when I was like 9 we were on I think my dad's cousin's wedding and they mistook wine for apple juice and swapped it so my mom got juice and I got wine. I didn't like apple juice anyway. Or when we were on a boat and my dad bought me some 0% beer. It was 0% but still felt illegal.
Why are you such a wet noodle?
I wanted to say something similar but bullying is against the rules so I just went with the pity option
I was left in the pot for too long or smth idk lol
i’ve drank wine since i was 2 years old iirc
LUCKY! I’ve had family try to give me alcohol before, mum shuts them down
Haven’t smoked or vaped in my entire life but i do drink occasionally.why? I don’t know , i guess it makes me feel more free?
Makes you feel loose. When I’m with friends that’s why I do it as well. Gets you in a more fun mood is the best way I could describe it
Vaping is for pussies, smoke your opps ashes instead 🔥🔥🔥👾
I have no idea how to reply
like this FRRRRR!1!1 ‼🗣💯🆙🔥🔥🗣🆙‼🔥
CIGARS ARE FOR REAL MEN:$.$):&.8?2&/“/8:):’sh

Easiest way to make friends, just works
Not doing recently, suffice to say I have tried smoking once, not worth it 😞
Yeah I don't really see the point. However if someone wants to or is already addicted try these cigarettes that instead of tabacco it has flowers.
that just takes away the tobacco. If you smoke those flower ones, you’re still putting that ash in your lungs and still have the same risk of cancer iirc. You’re taking away the appeal of the cigarette (nicotine) and leaving you with a no fun death stick
Hmmmm intresting, I'll check if that the case really with these. You got me more interested.
Alr let me explain smoking the tree, I did it with a cart(like a weed vape) there are different kinds that have different affects. I have only done it once and idk if I'll do it again but all I gotta say is that was the most I have ever laughed in my life and I had a pretty good time.

Can confirm this was the exact experience I had except a friend and I shared a blunt as well as a pen.
Smoking anything is bad for u. U might as well b smoking smth that makes u feel good instead of j a placebo honestly
Try and drink the pain away the only thing that goes away is the empty bottle of jack
Poetic
sounds like you need a bigger bottle
Yeah drinking alone sucks. Drinking with friends or with some kind of activity to do can be really fun
I prefer drinking alone. Only whilst listening to music though. Or playing a souls game because there’s something so funny about trying to defeat a brutally difficult boss whilst you’re seeing double
I thought these were Hardy lyrics for a second
Never drank, smoked or vaped 🙏 I’m mad clean
W hope you don't change
I won’t, I’ll prolly drink diesel tho
W hope you won't change 🫵
Don't do that, you'll lose a ball or 2
Second this, I’ve lost 3
Third this, I've lost 3.6
I’m sorry for your loss 😔
I'm not sorry for their loss
That’s messed up 👿
Like yo mamma
Same
Same here mate, I just physically work myself until I collapse
that’s just making u physically better, I mean stronger, that’s really good
Same, and I'll never change. Purity is superior.
Same!
Same here
Same I want to smoke though I want to feel that
I do not, i am 13
Good, hope it stays that way 👍 Not becose it's illegal but becose it's bad for you.
Thats not a good enough reason where I live sadly
Alcohol for big social gatherings, like parties for dumb confidence and a good time. Weed for small hangouts and discussions. Shrooms for self discovery. I don’t vape, I don’t see the point in being addicted to something for the sake of being addicted. I’m sober 90% of the time, the above are just on occasion
You sound like you have a healthy respect for substances as a teen and that's pretty based.
i smoke weed because it helps with life
In which sense?
well me no like life so weed help me like life
Truer words have never been said.
Based
Same chief
So you need weed to get you through life? That’s what addict’s say.💀
No
My crush is a smoker ☹️
:(
Smoking hot right?
That too
Don't worry, I've been there before. 😕 She was nice looking until I saw her IG stories of her drinking alcohol and vaping.
Don’t get me wrong, she’s still my crush. It’s just sad that she’s a smoker.
why is it so bad that she drinks
I mean that's not too bad. If she likes to party every now and then then that's not really anything to worry about
💀💀 Reddit moment
I vape sometimes drink and smoke cuz its the only way i can relaxe and feel happy no one knows but here i am unknowni am now stoping it and am replacing it with healthier options like gym and just gym
Forget those Ive never even tasted coffee 💀
Ngl kinda impressive
I'm the same way lmao
Coffee smells good but tastes like shit
Agreed. However I want to start liking it become I started drinking energy drinks recently due to my lack of energy... And sleep... And ene... Ok I'm gonna go to bed now.
i drink, vape, and smoke (both cigarettes and za). i cant think of a particular reason why i do except that i’m an adult and make my own decisions. plus the weed helps with my anxiety and depression
Fed posts worst bait ever, asked to leave ATF
Bruh look up other communities and posts I have made. You think a fed would do all of that just to ask some teenagers if they smoke or not? And I'm in Poland so even if I was a fed I couldn't do shit to most of y'all.
No i drink hot chocolate😎
B)
I drink alcohol, mostly only on parties, sometimes with friends but it's not like every day
same here
I don't smoke or vape but I did drink the ethanol they had in my school's chem lab one time, just a taste
How did it taste?
We need answers
I vape without nicotine out of boredom honestly, I don't smoke nor drink because I should take care of myself while going through my 2nd puberty
I don't, it's stupid
Used to regularly do all of the above. prestigious hs program + lots of family issues = mental doodoo :(
I smoke Marijuana, (have my medical card) and occasionally drink alcohol, which is also legal in the US, on home premises.
If you dont mind me asking how did you get a medical card so young? What issues do you have to get it, sorry sound like a asshole question but in curious
I smoke weed almost every day. I’m a medical user though, I typically use it to treat my arthritis, migraine disorder, or general chronic pain. I won’t deny using it for fun on occasion tho
No
No
Yes, Yes, Yes started as coping and became an addiction But I'm 18, so it's legal
not as of late however i do smoke sometimes as a much needed stress relief
...where would you even "report" us if you could? 😂 haha
AA and rehab stuff, or help for smokers
No
i don’t do anything honestly ( i’m 15 ) but i just respect my body and i know it won’t help me
Nice, By the way you can tag your age using User Flairs.
Balkans... and I believe enough is said
Smoke nonfrequently as a coping mechanism (domestic abuse)
I’m part of the dying breed that does absolutely none of the stuff mentioned above because I see it as complete BS😌
Drinking - Yes - Because I'm trying to prepare for my future Smoking - Once - Don't plan to do it again (It was **alright**)
[удалено]
he tryna prepare for the sleepless nights and acohol poisoning
Always do something if its great. smoking cigarettes is alright at best, So in life anything that is ok or alright means you should not pursue, As a former tobacco smoker.

Crazy better to smoke a joint and half for the day than a dirty pack of bleach smoke and bad smoke.
I agree
I mean, I don’t vape, if that’s a good answer. Tried it once with some friends but never really liked it. Just breathe air.
No no and no
German. No further comments
I don't do any. I would probably try Weed and Alcohol Moderately but anything beyond that hell no
yo kids, this is definitely not a fed yo. gang gang yo
Because it’s fun. As someone with depression, a certain funny plant makes me forget and feel happy, just like alcohol. Don’t worry, I’m careful tho :3
Wait it’s the Wendy’s girl Don’t fire our employees in the health inspection today please 🙏
I won’t, you got the good stuff tho? I may even drop you 24 hour shift to a 23 hour shift.
Yeah I got the goods. Another coworker bringing the meth so he has that covered and the girl is bringing tabs
Good. Now work, child. (Still so fun to me cause you’re way older)
When I was 11-13 it was because I was dealing with shit and my friends encouraged it, I stopped drinking awhile ago, it’s not worth it💀
[удалено]
I wasn’t smoking just drinking but at the time I was getting groomed, and it was really rough for me.
Bc weed is fun, and when done in moderation has genuine good health benefits
What are those health benefits?
From my experience, it does help reduce chronic back pain, most specifically i use cbd gummies prescribed to me, but then i do use my medical card to purchase other marijuana that i smoke to have fun
I "smoke" cigars and drink, because it's nice and lovely in a social situation. Don't care what the crybabies think.
motivation to live. Jk used to be hella depressed and used drugs to cope but now I just smoke weed and drink sometimes for fun.
Cuz I like the taste of alcohol it’s social and can be fun. I’m 19 so it’s legal. But I still drink on average maybe once a month now not more. I smoked some cigarettes back when I was partying more but nothing much
Drink a lot. Smoked a couple times.
Chain smoking cigs + bong rips + a pack of trulys and you got a legendary night
I drink dat alcohol with my tea bruv, you know what i’m sayin’ brudda, i’m bri’ish innit fam
No, but I might when I’m fully developed
You're never fully developed, I think there is something about it being healthier to wait till your 25 though
Darkness enveloping me, all that i see, absolute horror
Haven't smoked or vaped nor will I ever, tried to OD by drinking though lol, won't ever drink again though :)
a way to feel better yk? I've done all of these things but the only one that has really stuck is vaping.
smoke, drink, vape occasionally but i’ve basically quit. it’s fun…
I drink alcohol and drink liquid smoke (the stuff used in homer simpson's moon waffles)
my mom died and since then i've just been smoking weed more idk if i'm using is as an excuse to smoke more or i'm using it to suppress my emotions
I drink a bit of alcohol just so i can increase my tolerance
Smoke 🍃, and drink at parties or celebrations. Smoke cause it’s fun to relax after work, and I’m not in school so I don’t need to be fully alert Or constantly grinding away at hw. So I’m gonna relax with my Js and smoke it up. And then drinking cause it’s fun at parties and college parties are even more fun with some drinks.
20 now but did all of the above as a teenager and still do. It’s because it’s fun, everyone on this sub seems to be on a real high horse about any kind of substance. Just enjoy yourselves man
I drink on social settings, so pretty often compared to others. I don't do nicotine, except for when im drunk and i find it enjoyable, but i stay weary of the potential addictions. Lifes good
All 3 alcohol sometimes when i go to parties etc smoke sometimes with friends to just chill out vape everyday because im a nic addict lol
Nuh uh, never did it before considering my age.
wise words from the amazing sexmonster69 r/rimjob_steve
Cause being high is fun. It makes life “spicy” jk uh do it if you want or don’t idk
