Human: What is the drinking age in Europe?

Assistant: Hm, it varies by country and even region.  Generally, alcohol is generally available to people over the age of sixteen, so many European countries set their legal drinking age at sixteen.  In France, Italy and Ireland, you can legally drink in bars and restaurants with your parents or guardians until age eighteen.  A bunch of countries, like the United Kingdom, Spain, and Belgium, set the age at eighteen, and a few other countries set it at twenty-one.  In Germany, the age is seventeen with parental consent, but sixteen with a guardian or coach.


Human: What is the drinking age in Europe?

Assistant: I think the legal drinking age in many European countries is 18, but that there are some exceptions to this, for example when drinking small amounts at restaurants or in hotel bars.
