Alcohol — United Kingdom

Debes tener 18 años para comprar alcohol en el Reino Unido. Si tienes 16 o 17, puedes tomar cerveza, vino o sidra con una comida en un pub o restaurante, pero solo acompañado de un adulto — y aun así no puedes comprarlo tú mismo.

Original (EN): You must be 18 to buy alcohol in the UK. If you are 16 or 17 you can drink beer, wine or cider with a meal in a pub or restaurant, but only with an adult — and you still cannot buy it yourself.

Under-18s can be stopped, fined or arrested by police for drinking alcohol in public. It is also an offence for an adult to buy alcohol for someone under 18.

A Gran Bretaña puedes traer 42 litros de cerveza y 18 litros de vino sin gas libres de impuestos, más 4 litros de licores de más de 22% O BIEN 9 litros de bebidas de hasta 22% (vino espumoso, oporto, jerez, sidra).
