I have lived in Spain for over two years and am not sure of the age limit for drinking. What I can tell you in my time here I have only seen one young person drunk. She was a girl who was with an older boyfriend and was well and truly drunk but still got served.

However, I am a keen fan of Spanish football and have watched a lot of games on TV in local bars. A lot of young supporters also frequent these places but I haven't found any of them drinking alcohol. Most are happy with Coke etc, even during 'derby' games or World Cup matches. They can be a wee bit noisy but unlike supporters in UK they don't go in for violence or damage, it is all good natured.
