    This page is about the Oktoberfest in all its aspects. The Oktoberfest is more than just beer and I'm in no way condoning beer consumption or drunkenness. It seems to be a typical American stereotype that all Germans drink beer and inevitably become drunk - perhaps those holding such stereotypes need to grow up, become informed, shed their America-centric ideas about the rest of the world, etc. If you are offended by the thought of someone of age having a beer, please visit some other site.
