In most countries, the drinking age is clearly defined. Most often, this is 18 years, but it can also be higher or lower, or not specified at all.

In some cultures, drinking alcohol is part of everyday life and is seen as a normal social activity. In other cultures, drinking alcohol is more associated with special occasions or holidays. There are also cultures where alcohol consumption is less widespread or even prohibited for religious or cultural reasons.

Table manners and expectations around the world can vary as widely as the types of food that people eat. For example, what's acceptable in one culture might offend someone from another, and a delicacy in one country could be frowned upon elsewhere.
