      I actually knew someone who came home from school one day, at the age of 13, to find her dad sitting at the kitchen table with cans of beer everywhere. He DEMANDED that she get drunk! He wanted her first experience of being drunk to be at home where she was safe, so she could learn her limits! I think he made her smoke an entire pack too....

    #30 Is completely incorrect.
    You need to be 18 or over to purchase alcohol.
    You can be 16 -17 and purchase alcohol as long as it's accompanied with a meal and an adult of age 18 or above.
    It's legal for a child as young as 5 to drink alcohol in a private residence.

      Not true - just an urban myth. A bunch of people around 1906(ish) got together and agreed that either the Union Jack or Union Flag are good for use anywhere

      Tango Sierra Airsoft the Union Jack is actually the official flag. An Ulster flag doesn’t represent NI because there are 9 counties in Ulster. NI only makes up 6 of those. Ulster is not Northern Ireland but Northern Ireland is in Ulster
