What is the legal drinking age in France?

What is the legal drinking age in France? Is it true young children and teenagers drink wine with their dinner

  • (I am going to Brittany France)

  • Answer:

    You may buy wine or beer at age 16. Distilled alcohol can be purchased if you are 18. There is no legal age set on drinking itself only on the purchase. And teenagers often do drink wine with their meals.

Yes it is true that teenagers in france drink wine with their dinner but generally children under 10 won't drink alcohol. It isn't true that they drink wine with every dinner or lunch, not even the adults do that. I am currently living with a family and we drink wine with dinner only on special occasions yet others drink wine 3 or 4 times a week. The legal drinking age for wine and beer is 16 but it's pretty much never checked.

No it is'nt true, since 1970's in Brittany! I am french, origin Brittany, and I never see that Some teenagers (16-18, not young children) drinks a lot of beer or "premixes" like Red Bull but only in discotheque. Wine is not "trendy" for young french people. There is no legal drinking age in France, but children can't buy some alcohol (wine or beer) under 16.

Nothing much to add to the previous answers really, but I just thought I'd add that Bretons (people who live in Brittany) have a reputation of "serial drinkers", much like people from Alsace.
