    In Paris depending on what you are drinking and if your family are with you.

    It's 18 normally, unless served with a meal paid for by an adult in which case under 18 is permissable. And not many people know that!

    Some night clubs enforce a 21 limit, but the legal age is 18 throughout the UK.

    I was really shocked to get asked for ID in California recently, as I've only ever been asked once in my whole life here in the UK. I just burst out laughing.

    Maybe they mistook you for an international spy?

    You can get a £50 on-the-spot fine for:

    • drinking in a pub, bar or restaurant, if you're under 18, unless you are 16 or 17 and having a meal

    I am 40, and if anyone cards me I can only gasp "God bless you!" :) I watched a movie recently about soccer in England, and a young man was asking his british friend what the legal age for drinking was, and I think the friend told him 13 or 15. . .I can't believe a movie gave wrong information! (I think the movie was called "Goal!". Saw it on accident, but enjoyed it.)
