The answer is yes without a doubt. Anyone over the age of 18 can purchase alcoholic beverages in restaurants, bars, and other such establishments. However, some of eateries do not sell alcohol because to religious reasons or simply because they do not have a liquor license. Local beverages like as beer and wine are quite cheap, but imported drinks might be a little more expensive.

Fast food or fast service restaurants, as well as tiny and modest restaurants, do not offer alcohol. However, there are some exceptions to the rule. You may ask for alcoholic beverages at any time before entering the restaurant.

Turkish culture does not encourage heavy drinking; they generally have a few drinks with their dinner or at a club, but do not binge drink. As a result, moderate consumption is advised.

Although it isn’t common to drink while walking down the street, you may rest and enjoy a beer at a street café. Not all restaurants and cafés serve alcoholic beverages, so ask first.

The most well-known Turkish beverage is Rakı, or Lion’s Milk. Water it down and it resembles milk, which is undoubtedly powerful with an alcohol concentration of about 45%. This aniseed flavored cordial is served cold as a thirst quenching addition to kebabs and other foods. It’s available as part of the appetizer selection in Turkish restaurants where friends gather to listen to ancient live folk music and have deep discussions.

Turkish wine, which has a long history and is made from grapes, has only recently received international fame. Kavaklidere, a dry white wine from Central Anatolia fermented in oak barrels, Kayra, a fresh, fragrant red wine produced with Aegean Sea cherries, and Pasaeli, a dry fruity rosé wine produced in Izmir are just a few examples of the country’s best vintages.

Efes Pilsen is the most popular beer in Turkey. A lovely cold Efes on a hot day is the perfect thing. The same company produces Miller, Becks, Fosters and Warsteiner. Tuborg is a locally produced lager.
