Legal age to drink in private is 5.
Legal age in a pub or resturant with a meal is 16 (beer/cider/wine only - I think).
To drink and buy alcohol generally is 18.

Under 5 may only be given alcohol on medical order
Children 5 and over may consume alcohol, e.g. at home. It is only illegal for those aged 5-18 to drink alcohol on licensed premises (without meeting other licensing requirements)
under 16 may be present in a restaurant etc where alcohol is served with a meal and at the licensee's discretion may consume (but not purchase) alcohol bought by a parent or guardian
16 and over may purchase beer, porter, cider, or perry with a meal in an eating area on licensed premises (In Scotland wine also)
under 18 may not purchase or be supplied with or consume alcohol in a bar
Drinking age concerns the country you are in,so if legal age at home is 25 and you come to England you can drink in pubs if you are 18 or over

18 legally with the exception of 16 in a restaurant when bought by an adult but only during the meal. If you are American and 18, you can come here and drink as much as you want. Enjoy!

You can legally buy and consume alcoholic drinks at 18. I think some restaurants are alowed to serve you wine at 14 if your parents are there and let them but only with a meal, this is about the only exception to the rule.

Yes, 18, but 16 if with a meal bought by an adult.
I think the law regarding this is enforced more stringently in the U.S., it a lot of pubs, underage drinkers are common, and I.D. is not often asked for.

With a meal-16, generally-18, if your in your own home and had nothing to do with the purchasing of any of the booze, and under legal guardian supervision-5

You can legally drink alcohol at any age!! But it is illegal to sell alcohol to a person under the age of 18! That is regardless of the drinking laws in your own country if you are a visitor to the UK
