This applies to England & Wales at least, (But i t Northern Ireland to)

THE LAW AND UNDER 18'S IN PUBS :FACTS:

1) No body under the age of 18 can buy any sort of Alcoholic drink in a pub.

2) No body under 18 can serve Alcohol to any one in a pub, even if the customer is clearly over 18.

3) 16/17 Year old's can Legally drink (Beer,Cider or Mead ONLY) in a pub if they order a meal and one or both of their Legal parents/guardian's order the Alcohol & Meal and they have the Landlord's permission.

4) There is NO fixed legal age that someone has to be to enter a pub in the UK, but The Landlord(S)/Staff do proffer all customers to be 18+, or at least 14+ especially after 8/9PM ish, The Landlord(s)/Staff do have the final say for under 18's in their pubs.

5) You have to be 14+ to order a soft drink, i.e Coke,Lemonade and other common soft drinks In pubs but this is not a strict rule, But i think it is just because it doesn't look very good or responsible for say "A 12 Year old to order a soft drink at 10:30PM at night with loads of Adults drinking Alcohol around him/her at a bar".

These are just the basic laws/rules for most pubs in the UK or at least England & Wales but Scottish and N. Irish laws are at least 99% the same as English & Welsh laws regarding Pubs (etc)

*THIS INFORMATION IS ALL 100% CORRECT, THESE ARE THE LAWS REGARDING 2012 AT LEAST AND PROBABLY 2013 (ETC)*.

How many 18 to 20 year olds were killed in the Afghanistan War?

None from the United Kingdom nor the Unites States, and I suspect neither the rest of NATO. Some Afghan people may begin fighting at young ages. However, both the UK and the USA allow certain under-18s to enlist. Both countries have policies forbidding the deployment of under-18s to any combat zone. However, it has come out that several dozen under-18s were deployed to Afghanistan during 2003-2005; in both countries' cases, the deployments seems to be anomalies (either mistaken orders, or mass deployments of units without proper checks on eligibility), and, so far, have not been repeated.
