    		Spain is lower at 14 for Drinking Age and 16 for Purchase Age (Law rarely enforced to residents of Spain, mainly tourists).

    		In the UK, it is illegal for anyone to give alcohol to an under 5 except on medical grounds (and authorisation). Yes, 5. 5 and above may drink alcohol given to them (or pinched from an unguarded bottle or can - a small cousin learned caution after filching an opened can from her dad and regretting it a bit....) To do it on licensed premises is a different matter. 16 with a meal is the lowest for purchase, but 5 is the lower limit in outdoor bits of the pub as they are not the licensed premises, Otherwise, without a meal it's 18 in pubs and offies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_drinking_age
