In Germany, you are legally allowed to buy beer and wine at age 16. The result is that most teenagers tend to stick for lower-percentage alcohol and don't go all-in for the hard stuff.

Translation convention.

Pub is just the best English translation for 'Kneipe', and whether you drink a UK pint or half a litre of beer doesn't make too much of a difference.
