    For a large class of \(1+1\) dimensional interfaces of the Solid-On-Solid type we prove on a microscopic basis the validity of the Wulff construction and of the generalized Young equation which gives the contact angle of a sessile drop on a wall. Our proof relies on a new method to treat random walks with a finite number of global constraints.
