But what does becoming an adult mean ? What rights do you get at 18 that you didn`t have before? One of the most frequently pointed out ironies is that you can join the Army, Force or Navy at the age of 16 ( or if 17 you are a woman ) but you are not entitled to vote. This privilege only comes at the age of 18.
Smoking, drinking and going to the pub is a complex piece of law. The familiar RU 18 (are you 18 ) sign can be seen in pubs. That means you have to be 18 before you can buy and drink alcohol in a bar. Between the ages of 14 and 16 you can go to a pub but you can only consume soft drinks. In Britain you most show your identity card.
