It was a ban only for children under 14. Older children could go on drinking wine but with a consent of their parents. Nevertheless, we’ve gone backwards since.
I can only dream of ever being as based as my grandpa who lived up to 100 by solely drinking red wine and pastis. Truly we’re becoming savages
No cigarettes?
Sad. Government bans the funny grape juice. Worse than under Nazi occupation. Soon children will forget the French way of life.
I got sugar cubes dipped in Jenever when I was crying as a young child. Thinking about that it explains a lot…
Spare a thought for poor Barry children, who still have to make do with half a litre of white lightning (Stella if they’re posh) and a packet of pork scratchings.
Just to put things in perspective, it was wine “cut” with water. Keep in mind that for most of the medieval and modern era, drinkable water was not easily accessible, adding wine in water was a efficient and quick way to have something drinkable.
Someone should show this to Trump, I hear he’s looking for ways to shore up US wine producers.
She look exacly like how my grandma looked in the 1930s minus her grumpy face.
She used to drink a lot of red whine and died at 98, i guess the whine preserved her?
What else would you serve them instead of wine? Water? Children are human beings, not plants.
> Fourth Republic
Barry, I’m impressed you manage to keep track. I gave up after the 2nd.
Idk why people get all upset about immigration when we are already destroying our own culture without any help. Let them all come as long as children are allowed to drink again.
Having said that, I got beer at my school, so at least some places haven’t fallen.
Adding a bit of nuance: the wine was greatly diluted with water so it was not a full alcoholic experience. This was not dissimilar to other countries giving beer to kids. I grew up in the 1970s and we had weak beer during meals (~1.5 ABV).
As for France: it was only forbidden for under 14s in 1956. Only in 1981 was the legal drinking age set at 18.
That would be considered haram now.
You know the Fourth Republic was a shit time to be alive when 1956 was also the first time the Franco-British Union was suggested by a frenchman
Prfff in Russia it was the same but with vodka.
Pathetic. Beer with sugar is a mandatory Danish Christmas treat for kids.
