- Well, in a previous article someone wrote:
- (I forgot his name, sorry about that, no quotation either)
-
-
- They even serve you beer (McBrew) in Austria and Germany.
-
-
- Yeah, that's true. But it's even valid for the most of Europe.
- (continental europe). The laws about alcohol are not strict at alll.
-
- Here in Austria you can get alcohol of any kind if you're over 16.
- But, if you're younger, you'll still get it anyway (no hassles).
- Thus there is no reason for McD for not selling beer.
-
- McD (at least the store I worked in) is normally eally strict,
- which means: If you look younger than 16: show your ID (or no beer).
-
- I hope that explains european behaviour to the world.
- I spoke with a lot of US-tourists and the were all surprised with beer
- being sold, so I thought I'd explain the matters to you.
-
- Regards from Austria
