Culture shock: Alcohol use among very young Danes. In the US the drinking age is 21 in most places, and frequently enforced with "carding" at bars, clubs, and liquor stores.

It'll likely take awhile to get your footing with Denmark and the danes, and this can likely feel like a tough no-mans land to be in socially. Danes are not unfriendly. Danes are very nice, however they are hard to get to know, which is a big difference. Also depends how "cool" your country is.
