Had this pic had people ass covering the right side of it this whole time?
ass covering
Does that mean covering it with a picture of your own bum or is that just how I make my memes?
Had the pic not had had people ass covering a whole ass side, how had you’d feel?
Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?
Btw, this meme is 14 years old. Get off my lawn
8 year olds in Slovakia:
By the time Germans turn 18 (legal age for stronger alcoholic beverages) most of them already know their limit and party with more responsibility in my opinion.
Its much better to find your limits at 18…
Unfortunately alcoholism problems are worse here in Germany than the US. Many point to the early drinking ages for this, personally I see it is more a general cultural issue.
I have no data to back this up, but I seem to find that regions at Northern latitudes tend to have higher rates of alcoholism. I think it has something to do with long winter nights and people being able to find a sense of community in a pub/bar/Ratskeller after the sun goes down at 16:00 for half the year.
The US is much further south than most of Europe AND there are large regions that are very anti-alcohol due to religious reasons.
You could probably back this up by looking at the alcoholism rates in Scandinavia (especially Norway and Sweden)
Scandinavia had their own prohibition and still to this day have a strict 18/21+ drinking age with booze only being sold during very specific hours (and never on Sundays or religious holidays), with anything above I think 12% only available at the government run bottle shop
You stop drinking alcohol mostly at 21 I feel like.
At least most of me and my friends did. We still drink, but way way way way less. I feel like 21 or around there we the time we hit that responsibility.
I feel like that’s mostly a feelgood myth. Like for every person who handles their drink responsibly and started drinking young it produces like 10 functioning alcoholics. This countrys relationship to alcohol is fucked up
With 16 only Beer, stronger alcoholic drinks only when 18 Years old.
That’s the official age for stronger alcoholics. Most 16 year old already drink the hard stuff.
This is inevitable, but they cannot buy it themselves in a store. The owner risks having his store closed and having to pay a large fine if he sells alcohol to minors.
Theoretically you’re right, but from my experience a lot of cashiers don’t care if you’re 18 or not. Some do and ask for your ID, but especially in the more rural areas it generally isn’t a big problem to buy harder Alkohol. Of course the shop is risking a fine but I haven’t heard about any sort of market getting fined for selling Alkohol to minors.
Beer and wine with 16. Spirits with 18.
Imagine thinking American teens don’t drink.
Because it’s done underground I fully believe we drink more per capita.
Than Europe? That’s cute.
Imagine bragging about having a country full of drunks lmao
Its not a country but yeah, europeans are really wierd when it comes to this
Hey, at least you are the uncontested school shooting champion. No need to feel bad about losing the alcohol usage :)
Lmao don’t care this country is overpopulated anyway. I just wish they’d go for a higher score before they an hero themselves
https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/alcohol-consumption-by-country
Yeah, you guys are clearly drinkers. The US only makes the top 40 countries. Barely.
Edit: that’s per capita, somehow we rank 25th in the world for consumption overall
As with anything I feel like it’s a bit silly to pit the US as a whole against individual European countries. States are a much more logical comparison from the standpoint of physical size, population, and cultural regionalism.
It’s no surprise to me that the US as a whole is nowhere near the top. We have multiple states that are nearly entirely dry.
Check those numbers against drinking states like Wisconsin and I think the comparisons are much closer.
The day after I moved to Germany I went to the hospital emergency room with what was later diagnosed as a kidney stone and stomach infection.
I was given over the counter painkillers and some cramp medication and told to drink lots of beer to treat the stomach infection by the doctor.
I am serious. I asked about the complications drinking on the pain meds and he just said it was OK.
mixing those meds with alcohol fucks your liver
You misunderstood, the beer is for your kidneys. Alcohol inhibits the adiuretic hormone, so you have to piss more often, especially if you drink beer which is around 95% water. Drinking a lot reduces the formation of kidney stones since they get flushed out before growing too big.
I wouldn’t take painkillers tho, maybe Ibuprofen if it’s unbearable, but stay away from Aspirin in conjunction with alcohol.
Was “fuck your liver” as in “once is enough to fuck your liver” or as in “do this every day over a month to see any significant damage” kind of thing.
Some doctors are wild. Mine will give me anything. I had a sore neck, he gave me tramadol. I was having trouble sleeping after quitting drinking, he gave me quietapine antipsychotics because their side effects are drowsiness. He gave me phentermine, a weight loss drug and powerful stimulant, because I was depressed. I was still depressed, but was much faster.
Does your doctor’s name tag have the word “Dr.” in quotes, by any chance?
Ah, yes, Germany! The land where there are no alcohol issues because everybody is by default drunk.
I think we’re pretty average and it’s even on the decline.
I was just making a stupid joke. Playing with an old stereotype. It’s germans and beer and us and our mustaches.
That is good to know. My own country had a serious issue with alcohol and we managed to curb it in less than 10 years.
The recent surge revolves around binge drinking and hard liquor, when it was originally around wine. And supposedly women are drinking more than men, nowadays.
Yeah I know, all good :D
Where are you from? Nordic country?
Portugal, Land of the Epic Mustache!!!
That’s not Nordic :D and why is Portugal famous for a mustache? Haha
The mustache was a mandatory fixture for the portuguese man between the 70’s and the 90’s.
I think you have Germany confused with Czechia
I think every other country has this joke about themselves, “haha we’re the biggest drinkers”
Denmark is doing pretty well statistically in terms of drinking though, the biggest amount of alcohol consumed by young people in the world
Though the Czech drink by far the most beer according to wikipedia

Maybe not Saudi Arabia.
Czechia drinks just a little bit more than germans(Beer). On Average Germans drink afaik 114 l/year when Czechia has something like 116 l/year.
Germany has 99 l, we drink 140 l. Second place is Austria with 107.8
As an American, I can assure you no 16 year old has much trouble procuring alcohol. I certainly didn’t. By the time I was 21 the novelty had worn off
I remember being 14 and having friends of the same age order beer here in Italy, get drunk, nobody cared.
Also 7 year old russian kids
Clever meme. The drink in hand works so well that you wonder whether the caption came before the image or vice versa.
Grew up in South America and underage drinking, though illegal in theory, is pretty much the norm.
I grew up in the US, and the only person I know who didn’t drink as a 15 year old is a 33 year old who still doesn’t drink. Lol.
Interesting. I’m in Australia now and people here actually do respect the law when it comes to drinking. If you are under 18, it’s unlikely you will be able to buy alcohol or get into a nightclub etc. It would be shocking to hear someone got pissed drunk at 15, whereas where I come from that isn’t the case.
From OPs post I presumed US would be more like Australia in that regard, but, I take your word
With the exception of fake IDs, I don’t know if anyone getting into nightclubs or most bars. Occasionally there’ll be a shitty gas station that’ll sell kids beer, but they get shut down pretty quick. It’s mainly kids getting drunk with other kids in garages, at house parties, in the woods, et cetera, because one of them has an older brother, or is dating an older person or something.
That might be more to do with your social circles. There was a shit ton of teenage drinking happening when I was in high-school.
Might be a thing of social circles. For middle working class in NSW, personally, I’ve found it’s not the norm in my circles and I might say it’s also not the norm for even wealthier people- but I don’t rub shoulders with these crowds a lot. I’m sure it happens though.
My experience elsewhere was that underage drinking was actually the norm across any backgrounds.
I lived in Straya my whole life. I remember being 12 and my 13 year old buddy getting fucking drunk as hell on his dads beers during a massive party. It was a rural area though.
Fair enough. I’ve lived mostly in urban areas, but, good to know things are more relaxed in rural areas. (Still not smart getting drunk though)
Yeah it wasn’t. But this was years ago.
in Germany at 16 it is not underage drinking, you can legaly buy beer and wine.
In Germany underage drinking is at 13-14 and also happens a lot
yes, but leo is 16 in this image, and 16 is nit underage drinking in germany. and 15 is underage, too, isn’t it? it happens a lot and is nothing positive, but here we are 🤷
Thats exacly my point. It is not positive and it happens much earlier. In the end it’s less about laws and more about how people think about it
Drinking alcohol or buying it? Because in Britain it’s 18 to buy it yourself but 5 to have it at home.
What the hell, Britain?
You ever tried cleaning a chimney while sober at 5 1/2 years of age?
That is certainly a perspective I’ve never considered
Would singing a jaunty tune help?
It would help cover the sounds of muffled child screams from within the wals of the building, so yes.
Purchasing and drinking beer or wine is legal at the age of 16, for spirits of all sorts you need to be 18.
Well, if your sneakey about it…
