Drinking age on EU carriers?
What are the rules governing the drinking age on EU carriers? Does the plane need to be out of US airspace, or is it based on the aircraft's country of registration? I'm flying to Europe in October (probably BA or Lufthansa).

I'll be there for OKTOBERFEST! WOOO HOOO! I have an uncle in Wiesbadden, and my grandparents live SE of Stuttgart, so I'll be there as well for the Volksfest... Can't wait... I want to see if there really is a Beer Fest, one that's for the non tourists!

Lufthansa doesn't charge anything for alcoholic beverages! And as far as I know German rules apply as well (not that they would care anyways - it's so normal here to start drinking when your 16 or so).
See you guys on the Oktoberfest! I'll most likely be there too with a few friends!

The best fests are in the small towns. I went to a firefighters fest near Geibelstadt and that was the best (Same big beers, same funny music, almost exclusivly locals, German chicks, much cheeper). I had at least 3 Liters of beer that night; hurts just thinking about it.
I work in Wiesbaden, if you've never been you will really enjoy the town.
