is it ok to drink before the age of 21 as long as you're 18?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Firstly; Ignore anyone telling you it's illegal to drink under the age of 21 in the USA - It is illegal to BUY alcohol under the age of 21, however in most states it is perfectly legal for U21s to drink, as long as certain conditions are met (either being at home, or with parents, or both)

As for drinking U21, very few places are as puritanical about alcohol as America, shown by them having one of the oldest ages you can buy alcohol in the world .... And there is no more alcohol related damage done elsewhere than there in there.

As long as you are sensible it won't hurt you in the slightest

yo law its not, i think that you should be able to drink at that age, i have always thought that, not because of the fast that you get to that age quicker but, i believe that if you are considered an adult at 18 and vote and can die for your country at that age you should be able to drink, the older laws when the drinking age was 18 should be put back because of those reasons, even tho i think and believe that shouldn't be what you base your decision on, it should be based on if you think you are ready to be drinking and if you think you can handle drinking, by that i mean not going out and getting trashed all the time or just for the heck of it

You have already,at 18.,started on the rocky road.You can be an ar**hole and abuse alcohol,or you can be sensible and coast along the road,avoiding bumps and crashes.Stay sensible with drink and drink will be a companian you will enjoy.

It's not legal in the US, but it is pretty much everywhere else. My feeling on alcohol is that as long as you're old enough to be responsible about it, it's okay.

its ok to drink at 15

personal experience

The legal drinking age in the UK is 18 years.

no it's not ok

According to law is not. But it's OK if you are 16+

According to US law it isn't. According to yourself...well, what do you think?
