In Dyelli Beybi there is no legislation surrounding alcohol.

Dyellians drink heavily and alcoholism is one of the greatest social problems. The preferred drink is Helmut Cola... which despite the name contains no cola flavour. It has been described as 'similar to absinthe but tastes much much worse'. Most countries refuse imports of Helmut Cola due to the high levels of plutonium contamination.

The possession and consumption of alcohol is perfectly legal in the Democratic Republic of Superbia with the legal drinking age being 18. While the popularity of specific types of alcohol is very close, Vodka and other spirits make up the largest part of alcohol sales yearly.

Alcohol is very much legal and could be considered part of our culture. As well as pubs which are common in villages, cities have huge beer halls. Alcohol is consumed the most during October Festivals.

Beer is the most popular drink, followed by wine. We tend to favour bitters. Famous brands include McGoverns, Stillers and Whattingtons.

In most provinces you have to be 18 to purchase alcohol, though it is 16 in some provinces. It is illegal to give alcohol to young children.

Alcohol is legal, heavily consumed and a respected beverage throughout the country.

The most popular alcoholic drink in Vecherd is wine. Vecherd is notable for the variety of grapes grown because of the large variations in terroirs, with their specific mixes of soil, air, altitude and light. Vecherdian wine is produced mainly in Van Chataux, Vaud, The Cairlinn region and Lækræir, with a small majority of white wines. Vineyards have been cultivated in Vecherd since the 4th century, even though certain traces can be found of a more ancient origin. The most widespread varieties are the Chasselas and Pinot Noir. The Merlot is the main variety produced in Lækræir. Absinthe is very popular in the mountainous regions of Vecherd and are widespread sold throughout Vecherd. The most popular variety of beer in Vecherd is a pale ale and the beer brand Vjalan owns almost 15% of the Vecherdian beer market. Alcohol has a legal age 14 for beer and wine with less than 22% and a 16 y.o age limit for spirits and wine above 22%. Other than that Alcohol is completely unregulated.

Vecherdians enjoy alcohol and drink more than 15 litres of alcohol each year and alcohol is a big part of Vecherdian life, Vecherdians usually drink wine to both lunch and dinner and often spirits at the evening.

This statistics are by alcohol consumption measured in litres of pure ethyl alcohol consumed per capita in a given year, according to the most recent data from the Vecherdian Health Organization. The methodology used by the VHO counted use by persons 14 years of age or older.

Alcohol is an integral part of Royardon culture and the legal drinking age is 13. The women of Royardon are known to remark that Royardon men spend as much time in the pub as they do at home!
The choice of alcoholic beverages is very limited, however. Most pubs will stock two or three different ales, a stout and whisky (of the scotch variety, but known as King's Whisky in Royardon). In southern parts of the country mead is relatively popular and in the cities with better trade links with foreign lands wine is occasionally found. Lager is universally disliked

Alcohol is legal and widely enjoyed (in modesty, of course) by much of the population. There is no set drinking age, because Sidhae awaken from progenitories as fully capable adults. Excessive drinking is frowned upon though, and if it devolves into alcoholism, may be severely punished as anti-social activity and malicious abuse of state property (one's body, respectively). In the worst cases, an alcoholic may be compulsorily euthanized and recycled.
Proud National Socialist. Blaming everything on the liberals since 2000.

The world is full of criminal enterprises and terrorist organizations. The most successful ones are known as states.

Life is like surfing the Internet - there's no meaning or purpose, yet you don't really want to quit either.

The fact that slaves are allowed to elect their masters does not abolish the division in masters and slaves.

Don't try to deride me by calling me an "-ist" or "-phobe" unless you are referring to a medical condition or are trying to compliment me.

Socially-liberal capitalist democracy DOES NOT equate to free society.

Contrary to popular belief, National Socialists aren't racists. They simply hate their own race less than others.
