Minors will soon no longer be allowed to buy a drop of alcohol, at least if the ruling party Les Engagés has its way. It is currently prohibited for 16 and 17 year olds to purchase spirits, but it is allowed to stock up on beer and wine. Would it make any difference if they weren’t allowed to buy their first pint or glass of wine until they were 18? “Belgium is one of the last European countries where minors are allowed to buy alcohol.”

Stricter alcohol rules on the way? “16 or 18 years does make a difference. Belgium is still lagging behind”
