    You are a criminal. Just like when you rape a child in a country where it’s legal (statutory rape based on age) you are held liable in your home country if the AoC is higher than in the country you visited.

        It’s probably the most widespread and established law around the world. Only the age limits differs, but hopefully backwards countries like most of Europe, South America, China and the Philippines will catch on soon.

        I don’t have hopes for the middle east.

      So if an American drinks a beer in a German biergarten or in a park in france they should be charged with violating the open container law?
