The Frankfurt Christmas Market stalls have already popped up in town as the city prepares for the festive season to kick into full gear on Thursday, November 2. But if you're planning on heading into town to share in tankards of weissbier with your pals, there may be a slight hitch.
A new sign has appeared on some stalls that you might want to consider. As well as advising of a Challenge 25 rule for buying alcoholic drinks, the signage says there's a 'one drink per person' rule, accompanied by an illustration of Santa pointing at the statement for emphasis. The sign adds the plan is to stop those under the age of 18 getting drinks.
The sign reads: "One drink per person. We ask for your understanding that we are only allowed to sell one alcoholic drink per person.
