Junior Posted August 20, 2004 at 12:30 AM Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 at 12:30 AM What is the legal drinking age in China? Also, if I am 20 will I be considered 21 in China (I've heard that Chinese count their age as 1 when they are born)? Basically what I'm asking is will I be able to go to clubs/pubs in China... Thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liuzhou Posted August 20, 2004 at 04:18 AM Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 at 04:18 AM Just relax. Enjoy a beer or three. No problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pazu Posted August 20, 2004 at 05:11 AM Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 at 05:11 AM I'm quite sure "legal age" is a foreign concept, haha. People just don't care, why do you have to ask? Stick to Liuzhou's advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geek_frappa Posted August 20, 2004 at 02:39 PM Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 at 02:39 PM drinking age concept is used for Western society to pretend that it cares about youth, when in fact, it's simply an issue of liability. in china, nobody cares. nobody cares if you binge drink and end up in the gobei desert. in china, a lot of the false constructions of adulthood created in western countries don't exist... drinking is not a big deal in china. so there's no excitment from drinking "illegally"; when u drink in a pub, don't give up your passport. (just some advice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
