Where can I buy alcohol in Poland as a 16 yr old? (is it legal?)

So basically, Im 16 years old and polish, but i live in Finland. I am going to Rowy and Slupsk, but I want to buy booze. So where should i try and buy: gas stations, liquor stores, small shops etc ? And if anyone knows a specific place please inform :)!

Have teenagers today not heard the words 'novelty ID card'?

oh yes those Harry my 15 year old has a little industry going at college making them

Looks like he might have another customer soon!

True.

Stick around. Sooner or later there will be a thread created about fake ID. Send some Euro's over and Bob's your uncle.

edit:


Maybe he / she should post a thread!

Stick to soft drinks. The age for buying alcohol in PL is 18 and shops are quite good about sticking to that.

I always wondered who is charged in case a underage is sold alcohol? in states both the seller and the buyer is charged,to top it even if a fake id is shown still the seller is charged as he did sell to underage as well as the buyer.Same is the case with ciggerettes.

Using a fake ID card is certainly illegal here and a shop in Warsaw lost its alcohol licence for selling to minors a while back.

It is quite strict, I have been asked for ID a couple of times in fact and I am nearing 30. I am pretty sure that the charge will definately hit the shopkeeper and their license, however I am aware that it is an offense to attempt to buy alcohol while underage so the person buying could also be charged. It's also worth noting that a particularly strict shopkeeper could refuse you and then call the police/straz mieska with a description and they will be fine and you will be picked up.

Might be better off getting someone to buy it for you.

Marek. If you look 16 or even 18, most shopkeepers are going to card you. I see it all the time. Why not forget the booze and find the Lord Jesus instead? Just kidding. Ask a wino outside the night shop.

What is the best place to try and purchase alcohol in poland as a underage, im thinking of the monopolowy stores and the small kiosks or maybe some private shops? Im in słupsk and rowy atm

Try the place at Al. 3 Maja, Słupsk.

You mean the Czarny Kot? I'm pretty sure that closed down.
I think that place on Szczecinska is still open.
(My Mrs is from Slupsk and I lived there for a year).
