Is it legal for persons under 21 to create and then consume alcoholic beverages in New York?!


Question: Is it legal for persons under 21 to create and then consume alcoholic beverages in New York!?
Using a distillation process!. The beverages in question would be brewed entirely from common household items!. All items used in the process would be legally available to such persons (under 21)!. There would be no intent to distribute such items and consumption would not be public!.

Just curious to the legalities of such!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Distilling is illegal for everyone to do!. And as far as brewing and all other types of making alcohol in the home it is illegal if you're under 21!. You can't even legally buy the equipment or the ingredients!. Even for people who are of age are limited as to how much they can make!. 100 gallons per person per year not to exceed 200 gallons!. And some states/cities/townships don't allow it at all!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I see no legal ramifications, and, even if it was illegal, there would be no way of knowing, would there!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

It isn't legal to brew it but if you had no knowledge that it was alcoholic then consuming it would be legal!.!.!.go on!.!.!.do it anyway!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no! you can be 18 and olderWww@FoodAQ@Com

Probably technically still illegal but as long as no one knows about it and you do all this from the privacy of your own home I don't see any way you'd get caught!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
