Gracie.... Not sure about Austria, but you can begin drinking beer and wine at 16 and start driving lessons at 18, in Germany. Normally takes several months and lots of hours, behind the wheel, to get the drivers license.
Drinking lessons are not required and they seem to pick that up rather quickly....
Ironically, drinking isn't a big deal over here. Driving IS a big deal, especially with the autobahn and no speed limit. It's important to learn proper lane usage, as it is illegal to pass on the right. You can drive as fast as you want [on the autobahn], but if you pass someone on the right, they'll give you a stiff ticket... if they can catch you
