After Work Reactions

Hilarious man, I was cracking up when he said that =]

Z is for Zed

The "fingered for a bet" joke about Jay's sister is a pretty good comeback now, but they must have forgotten it when they actually cast her in the show and picked someone who looks about 10...

After Work Reactions

That's hilarious, Tay's brother had a like a full beard and is huge when he was like 16 and could order a drink with no problem lol

Adam C Turek

Me and my friends would go drinking in pubs at 16, with the hopes of not getting I.D'd, just wehn my facial hair started coming in so i got away with it, some mates not so lucky. I now work behind a bar and we have a thing called Challenge 21 where if we deem the customer to look under 21 we have to ask for I.D. as 18 years old look super young these days.

Tony Smyth

Nobody can play the part of a Drama teacher until they have played a part as a Form-head teacher, after they have failed as a teacher. We have a lot to learn from Mr Davies. (Only messing Greg. Don't hit me!)

Andy

Looking forward to seeing a reaction to Man Down. Greg is great in The Inbetweeners but his show Man Down is fantastic too.

Honestly I don’t think they’d actually be able to drink at an event like that in real life, I defo couldn’t in 6th form

Craig Burns

Would be good if you are able to react to the 2 movies they made after the series they are so funny but if not you should definitely watch them

They're in 1st year 6th form, which means they're 16/27 (the actors are older obviously). Not sure what the US equivalent is, but 6th form is basically voluntary extra education like college (which is why in the episode where they bunk off, the headmaster points out they're not actually obliged to go in). The drinking laws in the UK have a decent amount of leniency. 18 is the age you can buy alcohol, but you can drink it when younger in certain circumstances or with supervision. I believe schools can class as supervision if the students legal guardian consent and generally pay for it (hence the tokens). When I was at school we where allowed to drink on a couple of school trips and prom. We also drank on our rugby tours.

Luke Porcher

The guy who plays the teacher is Greg Davies and I think you’ve reacted to him on graham norton, before he became famous he was an actual teacher haha

Paperduck

The best part is the actor who plays Mr Gilbert was genuinely a teacher before he got into comedy

If you are supervised by an adult you can have a drink at 16:17 and even younger you can have alcohol with a meal in a restaurant in the UK if you are with your family. And drinking age is 18.

Mark Parker

Simon passed his driving test earlier in the series which you need to be 17 to start taking lessons and takes a few months to learn so I imagine they are 17-18 and you need to be 18 to buy alcohol in the UK

When I was at school no one ever asked for id so we'd go out drinking at 15 to the clubs. So many times I remember coming straight from a night out to school, we'd all stay round one persons house whose mum didn't care. You could smoke at school as well because that age was 16, so they'd have a smoking area.. which 13 year olds would be smoking at. Also because shops would serve you alcohol people would just bring in Vodka in their water bottles. It all changed for kids now when the laws became stricter and now they id if you look younger than 25. I loved those school days though and girls were such big sluts back then too. I think about it now and it's crazy to me because I used to get so many girls, but now I struggle to get anything. I cannot even go on a night out any more because everyone is 20 and thinks I'm old :(

Toby Lewis

Drinking age is 18 in the UK, but they’re 16/17. The alcohol wasn’t bought though, and they were supervised by adults, so I think the age is then 16. Children aged 5 can drink at home though in the UK.

H Grazza

Legal drinking age in UK is 18
