This statistic displays the result of a survey on parents' age limit for young people's alcohol consumption in Denmark in 2018. That year, with a share of 35 percent, the majority of respondents stated that young people should be at least 16 to 17 years old before they first consume alcohol. Seven percent less of parents had the opinion that it's okay to start drinking alcoholic beverages in the age of 15 years.
