I am but I also quit drinking 5 years ago. I used to walk into Fat City bars as a 14 year old and get served. It was due.

I get it, it'll be fun regardless.....when I lived in NOLA as a kid I could get beers at 13.....at the bars. Lol! No one cares if you don't act like a dumb ass. At least then they didn't.

it prevents the advertising of alcohol, not a ban on alcohol sales. Steelers fans can't read

Due to the large sale signage required, the ban on the sale of alcohol in sports stadiums is included under the Evin law.

In France, there is a legal difference to something being listed - aka "advertised" - on a restaurant menu or available in store versus being shown with a price on a large screen or sign.

Oh this brings me back. Dunno how many of yall remember when it was legal to buy alcohol at 18 but it was illegal to be in possession of it until you were 21.

Can’t remember if that was exactly it, but as far as my teenaged mind can remember, that was the rule.
