Grab yourself a Maß or half of beer and join me to discuss the drinking ages in Germany. I actually only found out recently that there are not 1 but 3 drinking ages here. As an American, I know that beer is important in German culture, but I asked some German friends about it and their answers were quite surprising to me. But in the US, we only allow adults age 21+ to drink alcohol legally. What do you think of these views? Before coming to Germany for my master's degree, I actually disliked beer and wasn't a fan of alcohol except maybe Margaritas with my tacos. But Germany's beer is so good, that I am now a convert and drink it with friends or a good pizza in lockdown. But I did drink it as a beverage at all the college parties held during my university years, because it is cheap, delicious, and plentiful here in Munich! I am hoping that Oktoberfest will be on for 2021 because I will BE THERE! I've got dirndls to wear, beer to drink, people to meet....
