How old is Denmark?

To buy alcohol in bars you need to be 18, however there is no drinking age, and an adult can buy alcohol for you. By tradition youths are privately allowed to drink alcohol after their confirmation[29]. If a shop or bar fails to ask for an ID-card and they are identified having sold alcohol to an underage, they are fined. A national ID-card can be obtained in the local town hall in order for the youth to verify their age in shops.[30] This card is rarely used though, since a passport or moped-licence can be used.

What is the W.C.T.U?

W.C.T.U. stands for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, founded in 1873 in Evanston Illinois. It and the Anti-Saloon League were leaders in the crusade for Prohibition. Members originally advanced their cause by entering saloons, singing, praying, and urging saloonkeepers to stop selling alcohol. Later they began using education, mobilization of anti-alcohol forces, and other activities to advance Prohibition. Although the WCTU is most closely associated with the prohibition of alcohol, it has never been a one-issue organization. Frances Willard had asserted that "Our policy is 'The Do-everything-policy, and do it all the time.'" Accordingly, it has addressed a number of other social reform issues, including "lust-free" marriage, sanitation, abstinence from tobacco, public health, abortion, homosexuality, labor rights, premarital chastity, eugenics, prostitution, gambling, pornography, international peace, dress reform, illicit drugs, suffrage, same-sex marriage, women's rights, the "War on Christmas," the display of Scripture in public places, and maintaining Blue laws prohibiting golf and other leisure activities on Sundays. Currently emphasized is abstinence from alcohol and drugs, pornography, same-sex marriage, premarital chastity, homosexuality, and keeping Christ in Christmas. The WCTU currently reports having 5,000 members, a staff of four, and an annual budget of $250,000.


Did they have alcohol in Elizabethan times?

Shakespeare talks about people drinking mead. It was an alcoholic drink made from honey and water which was fermented with yeast. I'm sure the most common drink was water though. Actually I thought water was very dangerous at those times, so it was only drunk if desperate. True with the mead though! Thanks!

Why do Christian churches prohibit consumption of alcohol yet claim that the blood of Jesus Christ is wine and where does it say that and why is it that alcohol's sinful?

This probably would be best answered by a Catholic expert - from the way you worded the question. Most denominations teach about the dangers of alcohol but don't actually prohibit it. Nor do they teach that the wine in communion is actually Jesus' blood. It becomes a sin when a person is drunk.
