Officially you can buy beer and wine from 16, and hard liqour from 18. There is a lot of checks on this. But as anywhere in the world, you might be able to slip through, especially in supermarkets. In clubs and bars it is almost impossible, as they could be closed when caught selling alcohol to minors.

it particularly is prohibited so which you would be bought alcohol, and if the police or identifying to purchase and merchandising standards locate out, you'll be arrested. the guy who bought you the alcohol could be sacked, and in the event that they have been carried out for a similar element till now, the shop could be fined a multitude of money or compelled to close. that's worth remembering that your movements do no longer in basic terms result on you, yet could result on the lives and jobs of human beings too. If the police take place on the social gathering and locate human beings under 18 ingesting alcohol, a minimum of they are going to take the alcohol off you and deliver you all domicile - at worst you'll be arrested. do exactly no longer do it - in basic terms those with extreme subjects choose alcohol to have relaxing, and it is not worth getting a warning/warning that could take place on an superior CRB and probably break your destiny.

compared to the USA it's still relatively easy to get alcohol when underage although it's getting harder as the government takes it more and more seriously and people are getting used to having to say no to minors.

Yes.
And you can get drugs easily. Prostitutes are easy to be found.
The city is more like a red light district. But not their country side where it is very beautiful.
