Can 16 year olds drink alcohol in Turkey?

No. Turkey has a limited drinking age of 18 years. Alcohol consumption is legal in Turkey. However, there is an age limit for consumption and purchases. So you must be 18 years or older. The Turkish national alcoholic drink is Raki (usually contains between 40 and 50% alcohol), which you can buy in liquor stores open until 10 p.m. Drinking in public is not illegal, but you can be punished under Article 35 of the country's Misdemeanors Law, which prescribes fines for "individuals who disturb the peace of others while intoxicated."
