Does this development concern you?<br /><br />I&#039;m a bit sceptical of passing judgement, as from what I&#039;ve heard, the drinking culture in the Netherlands differs to that of the UK / Aus. I know the drinking age is 16 and they are a lot more liberal about drugs etc. So I&#039;m not overly concerned; maybe if it&#039;s an actual...
