=== Grussland === | |||
Alcoholic beverages have long been a staple of Grusslander identity and culture, with a strong tradition of brewing and fermenting alcoholic beverages dating back millennia. Evidence of beer and wine production has been found at many archaeological sites, where traces of yeast, hops, and wine were extracted from clay pottery and jugs. | |||
Today, beer in particular is enjoyed almost daily by most locals. When the first foreign fast-food chains opened in Hoffstadt in 1989, many patrons were dismayed at the lack of beer on the menu as locals generally expect to have a half-pint at lunch time. While most regions have their own local brewery or preference, the market as a whole has been dominated by a dozen or so larger beer conglomerates. This has gradually changed since 2005, when deregulation allowed a large number of craft and local beers to reach the wider market. | |||
Wine, while always available, was traditionally reserved for nicer dinners or social events. Under the People's Republic, a large proportion of grapes were devoted to the production of fortified wines; popular with managers and party elites who had first-take, cognac and brandy were typically export-oriented and domestic supply was often only released around the Christmas season. In more recent years, wines have been growing in popularity and steadily improving in quality and access is open to market forces. | |||
Grusslander laws regulating alcohol use and sale are mostly focused on protecting vulnerable groups (such as youths, abuse victims, and addicts) and encourage responsible approaches to alcohol consumption. In private settings there is no drinking age, but parents and guardians are responsible for adverse outcomes for the youth. In public, the drinking ages are staggered: 14 for undistilled (fermented) alcoholic beverages with permission of their Responsible Adult; 16 for for undistilled (fermented) alcoholic beverages without needing permission of their Responsible Adult; and finally 18 for access to any alcoholic beverage. | |||
