Of course they can. But their bodies wont be able to process the alcohol as well as an adult can. They would only be able to consume pint sized sips before becoming completely drunk. There is of course the legality of the matter. As many countries have a 18-21 age limit before being able to legally consume it. They do this, as consuming alcohol while developing can damage brain cells and affect the persons well-being.
alright so the previous person said "13 but has to stay at home to drink alcohol."
and I'm not sure if that is true but morally kids should not drink. Ever. SERIOUSLY! Who would let someone 13 have alcohol and chances are they won't like it anyways.
And to make a point that morally they should not there is a medical reason too. So your liver processes all of the toxins in your body. Alcohol is a TOXIN in your body, So if you drink too much and your liver has too many toxins to handle you could DIE. So think about this, DEATH is a risk if you let you kid drink alcohol. now let that all sink in and then make your decision.
between the age of 13 and 17, depending on friends and availability
20 and above
You can drink beer at the same age you can drink anything else from a glass or bottle. The question is too general.
Provided they are not allowed to drink too much and it is done responsibly, nothing.
Legally you have to be 21.
Maybe in your country. But the question is "should". There's no answer to that; it's not a requirement to drink beer. Some people don't even like it.
Anyone can drink a little beer, but please don't give the next child you see some beer. Children cannot process alchohol as well as adults can, making it unhealthy for them.
No that'll Make the Child Mentaly Ill
Russia doesn't consider beer an alcoholic drink, therefore anyone can drink beer.
If you are of legal age, you make drink beer on a boat in California if you are not operating the vehicle.
yes that is the legal age 2 start drinking
21
There is nothing unusual about sleeping, but your friend should only drink if they are of legal age, and should never get behind the wheel of a car when drunk.
No. The legal age is 21. You could get arrested, otherwise.
It is now 21. Several years ago you could drink 3.2% alcohol beer at age 18. However, regular beer, wine or spirits required age 21.
It depends on your laws, in some countries beer is illegal all together
The drinking age should be lowered because the age to join the military is 18. This means that you are old enough to fight in a war and carry a gun, but not old enough to drink a beer.
An 18 year old cannot legally drink beer. The age to consume alcohol is 21 in the US.
it should be, but the taste will be long gone, but beer does not spoil.
damn you are skinny as hell....1 1/2 should do it.....you should not be drinkin weighin that much and that age but hey whatever floats ya boat Is illegal to drink beer at 13. Coca cola is more to your age group. Any one providing you beer, or allowing you to drink beer, could be charged with a crime. Depending on the type of beer, a single beer would be likely enough to make you legally drunk. Two would certainly do it. If you drink about 2 you'll get a buzz, to get actually drunk probably around 6, just don't make it a habit.
