Living in the Chicagoland area right now.
21 IS LEGAL FOR ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION,AND CLUBBING.SHAME YOU ARE NOT HERE ITS 18.
as far as i know, the legal drinking age in the united states is 21. some clubs allow 18 year olds in, but most likely they will give out wristbands to the 21 and over crowd indicating that they're allowed to drink.
Since you've asked us for the illegal drinking age in Chicago it would be ages 0-20.
21 is the legal drinking age in the State of Illinois.
Some clubs allow 18 year-olds to enter. Usually these clubs also put a large "X" on your hand to show that you are not permitted to buy alcohol. Some clubs even provide wrist bands to show that a person is permitted to buy alcohol.
While legal consumption age is determined by the individual states, all states in the U.S.A. have a drinking age of 21.
The illegal one would be 18.
the age for heading into night clubs is while the night is young.
and just in case you wanted a serious answer...
Financial incentives create de facto federal purchase age of 21. The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 states that revenue will be withheld from states that allow the purchase of alcohol to anyone under the age of 21. Some states do not allow those under the legal drinking age to be present in liquor stores or in bars (usually, the difference between a bar and a restaurant is whether food is being served). Contrary to popular belief, since National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984, few states specifically prohibit minors' consumption of alcohol in private settings (an exception includes Connecticut). In some cases or states, alcohol permits can be purchased at a cost to the parent or legal guardian. As of 2006, 20 states do not specifically ban underage consumption and an additional 15 states have family member and/or location exceptions to their underage consumption laws.
Federal law explicitly provides for religious, medical, employment and private club possession exceptions; as of 2005, 31 states have family member and/or location exceptions to their underage possession laws.
Underage purchase of alcohol, though illegal in all fifty states, is not a federal offense, although restrictions on highway funding for states that allow it make it illegal federally de facto.
It's 21 nationwide.
