how this sounds to me sooner or later there will be formed right oriented govermont and force dutch language and reducing civil rights in mean of social and health care and that will invoke civil disorder or if left oriented parties win since usually right oriented parties and people have more drastic seeing on thing even invoke civil war, but I think first option is more real. We on balcan solve those problem with war's, more fun :) we cant afosrd paintball equpiment so we take real rifles and go to play... :))

Louis, Belgian guys can hold their liquor very well but and we don't want to have to drink 25 pints of 3% alcohol beer before we finally start to feel a little tingle, let alone getting drunk from that type of light "lemonade". Our Belgian kids drink these 3% alcohol jokes of imported beers when they turn 12. We want the real stuff: 8% alcohol or higher.

It's also very smart from a nutritionist perspective. We have to drink less beer to drink the same amount of alcohol. So less calories needed to get drunk ---> way less beer belly's in Belgium.

Oh and about the German speaking Belgians. Yeah it's a great little region in Belgium, perfect for biking or hiking and stuff, beautiful nature and friendly people and stuff. But it's really a small minority in the French speaking part of the country. It's true that they are a bit forgotten in all the discussion.

But it's also a bit sad to see the French speaking region always demands their minority protection rights and yet, they sometimes ignore the rights of their own German minority.
