What is the law about under age drinkers?
The sale of alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 is illegal under federal law, due to the passage of National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984. However, the actual consumption of alcohol by those under 21 may or may not be illegal, depending on the particular state. 14 states, and Washington, D.C., ban alcohol consumption by minors. Other states may allow it if you have parental consent, or allow it with no prohibitions. Check the link below for more detailed information about each state. Edit: In order to give you more detailed information, we need to know what state you live in. Liquor laws are set by state governments, not by the U.S. federal government.
