Answers:
I understand your question!. When I lived in the Bahamas, the situation was similar to yours--that was back in the 60's!. It isn't that way now, tho!.

As for being in Las Vegas, we have been there a number of times and they are very careful there--on the face of it, but if you want to drink and can get someone to buy the alcohol for you, then there's not much to stop you from underage drinking--and that applies to the rest of the country as well!.

In all of the times we have been in LV, we have never seen a minor being served in the hotels, casinos and restaurants we have been in!. You will also be ID'd for cigarettes as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When I was 16 I was like you and looked younger!. Unless you can find someone 21 to buy for you, you'll never be able to get away with it!. I've been ID'ed all my life, still do, and I'm 35!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Awtsj, you're gonna have to get used to orange juice again :D

America is a free country, but not if you're 16 and want booze!. You have to be 21 in New York to have a beer!. … yoink… I know…Www@FoodAQ@Com

It depends on how laid back your parents are!. I have some friends whose parents are really laid back and let them drink beer some times!.
Or if you have an older friend who can buy it for you!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Unfortunately yes teenagers here in America have way easier access to alcohol than they should!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Go into a store and grab a bottle of booze!. Run out!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your out of Luck, Sorry your cut off!.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
