United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

That's because kids are legally allowed to drink at home after the age of 5. At 16 you can drink alcohol at a restaurant or pub with a meal so long as you're with your parents. Only at 18, is there no restrictions to buying alcohol other than you're not allowed to consume it in public.
You can consume in public, just not in alcohol free zones. The zones are generally city/town centres where there are usually places licensed to serve alcohol. Everywhere else you can drink as you please as long as you don't get too drunk.
