Drink- 16 (beer) 18 for liquor
Smoke- 16 I believe but they have cig. machines at every corner and I have seen children as young as eight years old smoking after school.
Drive- 18 however you have to go through an expensive program to get your licenses.

Drink : 16 (beer..)
18 (harder stuff) depending on the controls ;-)
Smoke: officially 16, but as mentioned the vending machines can not be controlled, but from 2007 the vending machines will only accept credit cards (they are not that common in Germany among teens). We will see if it helps?
Drive: in some areas 17 (accompained) but normally 18

drink 16 but some clubs older and some bars only ask that you pay for the drink no matter what age.
Smoke (ha) they sell this in vending machines outside the bus stop. If you got 4 euro you got smokes.
Drive good luck, USAFE licensee is 18.
