That's purely a us thing.
I mean, technically... no. Drinking age for beer and wine in Germany is 16, while age of consent (with additional protections) is 14, just like criminal maturity: If you're old enough to stand trial, you're generally old enough to decide for yourself who you want to fuck.
And while legal guardians being present lowers the drinking age to 14 being a guardian isn't exactly compatible with dating a 14yold, that's a position of authority or trust. Buying it for them is also problematic if it's indeed in exchange for sex, counts as prostitution, minimum age 18.
Thanks a lot, lemmy, that was probably the creepiest thing I ever thought about.
What are you rambling about? Op said 18. Drinking is legal everywhere in Europe if you are 18. You know why? Because you are an adult. So you can also fuck everyone while drinking, even 90 year old dudes/dudettes, you know why? Because you are an adult.
You said that being able to legally have sex with someone but that someone not being old enough to legally drink in public is purely a US thing. Taking Germany's law as an example, I explained how that was not purely a US thing: It's also the case in Germany, just with the ages shifted downwards quite a bit.
