What have you done today?

If you drink at home there is no age limit.

So there's no contributing to the delinquency of a minor there?

Not per se. If you turn a minor into an alcoholic you might get prosecuted for it or lose custody, I guess, but not as long as it is done in a responsible way. Swedish laws are pretty rigid regarding most things but with funny loop-holes in them at the same time.

In some European countries, like Greece, there is no age limit for drinking at all, not in public places either.

Drinking age is 18 here, but you can drink in restaurants or at home at 14 I think, if your parent gives you it/buys you it

something like that anyway

I see. Thank, guys.

Breakfast, shower, etc. Ate some chocolate and am posting on here.

Here in the UK, children can be given alcohol in private at 5 years and can drink beer, wine or cider with a meal in licensed premises at ages 16 and 17 if it's bought by an adult.

Woke up, posted some stuff online, showered, cooked, ate, had a seizure, went out to collect woodlice in some nearby wooded wasteland, caught lots of woodlice, got shit on my trousers, came home, showered and changed my clothes, ate again and posted here.

 When will you get to see someone about seizure medication?

I think the appointment with the neurologist is on the 21st of July.

You'd like the U.S. then!  Here you just walk into any liquor store and buy stuff (with a valid I.D. proving you are at least 21).   

It's a state by state thing.  My state's constitution lays out that alcohol can only be sold by the state.  We don't have liquor stores, we have state dispensaries.  In order to open new ones or change the hours of operation requires an act of state congress.

  You're kidding, I had no idea!  Well, now I know.  My condolences to the fine citizens of your state.

Some states it varies by county. Some states have dry counties; some places only prohibit sale on Sunday. Here, beer and wine and such can be found in grocery and gas stations but hard liiquor in liquor stores, though some grocery stores also have their own separate liquor stores in the same building.

My state, pa,  really isnt a state, it is a commonwealth and we have very very serious drinking laws. Bars have to close at 2, nothing is sold on Sundays, and liquor can only be obtained in "state stores". You have to buy beer/liquor at bars, or stores specifically labeled as beer/state stores. there is nothing at convenience or grocery stores without special license that is so hard to obtain most places dont bother. I think it has something to do with the "blue laws". There are a lot of Amish and religious people here...

Right across the border in WV, you can get jack daniels at the drug store at 4 am if you want
