Proponents?[edit]

The article talks of proponents for drinking alcohol in public but provides no information on who they are. This should be considered as a matter for further research.Graham1973 (talk) 08:48, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Germany[edit]

there is no such thing as a legal drinking age. There are age restriction to BUYING alcohol and supplying alcohol to minors, but no legal drinking age. This article is total B.S. I do not know the rules for underage drinkers in public, so i will delete the whole section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.6.19.132 (talk) 10:15, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is why the article needs additional references. Bladesmulti (talk) 08:27, 28 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the german law only:

makes it illegal to sell or give alcohol to a minor under the age of 14/16/18.
makes it illegal to permit minors under the age of 14/16/18 to consume alcohol in public.

So dejure there is no minimum drinking age, but their is a minimum age at which alcohol may be sold to a person and a minimum age at which it may be permitted to consume alcohol in public.
The age limits also varies:

It is generally illegal to sell, offer, or permit minors under the age of 18 to consume destilled spirits and mixed drinks containing them. (§ 9 JuSchG Abs. 1 (1))
It is also illegal to sell, offer or permit minors under the age of 16 to consume other alcoholic beverages (which are all fermented drinks: beer, wine, cider and sparkling wine and mixed drinks containing them) (§ 9 JuSchG Abs. 1 (2))
Exeption is made for minors aged 14 or 15, to consume "other alcoholic beverages" (those which are permitted from age 16) in public in presence and with permission of a legal guardian. (§ 9 JuSchG Abs. 2)

The BVG forbids "excessive" consumption of alcohol in the Berlin S-Bahn;[7] violations are considered a civil and not criminal matter.[8] The Deutsche Bahn does not forbid consumption of alcohol in regional trains.[9]

The BVG does not run the S-Bahn, it runs the U-Bahn. The S-Bahn is run by the Deutsche Bahn (DB). But there is also the VBB which is significant for both. They forbid drunken people from riding the train (see VBB terms of transportation), although this is seldom enforced. I am not sure how to change this without making it too confusing. I would suggest removing any too specific information. Delilahblue (talk) 21:50, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
