What is the legal drinking age in switzerland (Verbier)? |
Travel Info I'm going on a ski trip there, please tell me the specific age of this canton Travel Tips 16 for beer, wine and cider 18 for hard liquor including alcopops (Smirnoffs Ice etc.) Source(s): There is a sign to that effect in every restaurant I go to. (I'm in Zurich, but it's a national law.) I'm well over 18, but I know of one 15yo who was served a beer in a bar, and I see what certainly seem to be younger kids drinking here and there. Other Travel Tips Dix huit je crois? 18! In most countries it's between 16 and 18. We're the exception (21). Also, in most countries it's not enforced like here i.e. having to show ID etc... yes it's 16 for beer and wine and 18 for liquor, no difference between the cantons! no matter where you are in switzerland for alcohol you have to be years old when you want to by beer or wine. whenever you want to have something stronger you have to be 18 years old Cider, Beer and Wine may be consumed from the age of 16 on, spirits (Cognac, Vodka etc.) may be consumed from 18 on. Cigarettes and Tobacco may be consumed from 18 on. If you look younger than 18, and a bar(wo)man, waiter(ess) etc. asks you for some ID, SHOW HIM/HER promptly. Not doing so means no drink. Hope this will help, |
