Are you 16? Come and have a beer!
There’s something I really don’t understand: why in the world in Italy a teenager who is only 16 years old can assume alcohol with the consent of the Government, when everybody knows that most deadly car accidents among the youth are caused by an excessive assumption of alcoholic drinks?
This is something that really shocked me when I saw this sign in a grocery store. In the States the legal age to drink alcohol is 21. It’s 21 against 16, you must be 5 years older!
If you are like me, and have left behind the teenage years long time ago, I’m sure you would agree that 5 years, at that age, do make the difference.
Maybe our politicians will wake up one day and will finally change things for the better. Speriamo.
