No difference in pronounciation. No difference in taste either. Actually even no difference in

Nah, Pierce...
Here alcohol is easily available and relatively cheap and we drink only here according to my keyboard.

Hati Posted Dec 8, 2002
Well, of course you can find illegal alcohol here. It's just not so safe. I mean last year quite a lot got killed by metanol. 
That needs more training...

Well, yes there's that. I'm just wondering about when you can buy it. The question was badly phrased. Is it at 21 like USA or 18 like UK?
Crossed Purposes: December 2002
Hati Posted Dec 8, 2002
I am not so sure as I am too far from the age limit anyway. I guess it's you can buy it at 21 and drink at 18.

Does that mean if you buy it at 6 o'clock one night, you can't drink it til 9 o'clock the next night???
