Not knowing where you live it's hard to answer that!. I live in the US where the drinking age is 21!.
Go to the International Center for Alcohol Policies and they have a list of all the countries in the world and their respective legal ages for drinking alcohol:

Yes and no!. As I'm sure you know in the United States we have federal and state laws!. The federally mandated age for alcohol consumption is 18, however the federal government basically forced each state to enact laws which raised the minimum age to 21 by threatening to withhold federal funding for roads, highways and etc (National minimum drinking age act of 1984)!. This means if one were to venture to an area within the untied states which isn't within a state, they can legally drink at 18!. It sounds like an oxymoron to be in the United States without being in a state but these places do exist: Puerto Rico, U!.S!. Virgin Islands, Guam, any Military base, some bodies of water (the Mississippi river)!. Additionally many states have loophole laws, such as Georgia, where any minor can consume alcohol so long as they consume it at their legal residence and in the presence of a guardian!. So you see the answer to your question really is!.!.!. it depends, but in most circumstances it is not legal to drink in the United States unless your are 21 years old or older!. :(
-Note: Contrary to what another user has posted; it is illegal for a minor to be drunk (unless in the presence of a guardian at home and even then only in select jurisdictions)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If you're in the U!.S!.:
It's illegal to purchase, possess, and consume alcohol if you're under 21!.
However, it's not illegal to BE DRUNK at any age **(assuming you aren't causing a scene or disturbing the peace, or acting too disorderly, or driving, etc!., in which case the "being drunk" part becomes illegal)!.
If you are drunk and underage, if you don't have alcohol on you and if you're not driving/doing something stupid like getting into fights, then you're not breaking any law!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
