Alcohol in Norway

In Norway the age limit for alcohol is 18 years for beer and 20 years for wine and spirits. But we believe that in this country many people under the age limit have tried alcohol anyway, even through friends, parents or others. They drink in private areas, expesially in the weekens. Maybe about 85 % of youth in the age 15-20 have tried alcohol and the average age of youngsters who has tried it, is about 15 years old. The statistics shows that:

13-16 years: 72%
17-18 years: 88% have tried alcohol.
19-20 years: 93%
