I was curious as to what the legal drinking ages are in other countries, so I Wikipedia’d it.
In the UK, the legal drinking age is 5 years old (in private).
Children under 5 must not be given alcohol unless under medical supervision or in an emergency (Children and Young Persons Act 1933, Children and Young Persons (Scotland) Act 1937). However, children aged 5 and over may legally consume alcohol in their own home or someone else’s as long as they are under the supervision of an adult, however Social Services are intolerant of this occurring with children under the age of 14.
