American in Canada Drinking Question

Question

I am 20 years old and I am going to Canada tomorrow. Will I be allowed to drink there? If so, will they accept my American i.d.?

Answer 1

yeah they will you will be able to buy and drink it is all good have a kick *** time :)

Answer 2

At age 20 you're legal in every province.  Some are 18 some are 19.  The link below tells you which.

Answer 3

as long as you have Photo ID you should be fine

Answer 4

It is illegal for you to drink just like it is illegal for you to have s*x with people under the age of consent in your state.  But it is not illegal for Candians to serve you alcohol or for sixteen year olds to have s*x with you while in Canada.

Answer 5

yes, the legal drinking age is 18.  It does not matter where you are from just as you must follow the laws of things not to do when you are there even if America does not follow those laws, you can benefit from the laws of what you can do when you are there.  Have fun and drink safe!

Answer 6

Yup! Because you need to be 18 (I believe 19 in Ontario) so you are perfectly fine because it is legal there!  

Answer 7

yes. the drinking age in Canada is 19, or 18 depending on the province

Answer 8

I think the drinking age in Canada is still 18 - just have a valid ID and you should be fine.  Have fun, and be smart.

Answer 9

yes. the age in canada  19 (or 18 in some provinces) and it doesn't matter where your id is from, as long as you were born over 19 (or 18) years ago.

Answer 10

Yes you are allowed to drink here.  With the exception of Alberta and Quebec (18) the drinking age in Canada is 19.  Be aware though that while you may have legitimate state id, bars and liquor stores are NOT required to accept it as proof of age.  Often if an ID is one they aren't familiar with you will get turned away.  If you have your passport use that, but be careful when out on the town with it, make sure you have it secured.

Answer 11

You should be fine with legitimate U.S. ID.  You don't say, however, which province of Canada you are talking about.  Most require 18 years of age but Ontario, where I am from (Windsor), it is 19 years of age.  But, at 20, obviously you will be good anywhere - just make sure you have proper ID.

Have fun and don't go crazy.

P.S.  Living in Windsor (a border city, across from Detroit) we see lots of American kids here drinking on the weekends.  Just be careful crossing back over to the States if you have been drinking.  They watch out for that kind of stuff and also, once you're back on your highways, the same rules apply regarding drinking and driving, so if you're drunk and get in some sort of driving trouble, the fact that you have been drinking in Canada, where it is legal, will have no bearing.  You still have to abide by U.S. road rules.

So have fun but be safe!

Answer 12

yeh if you look 20 they will they accept any id including afghani

Answer 13

yes you are allowed to drink there... Canadas drinking age is 18. They don't care if you're from the US. As long as you have a valid ID you should be just fine... especially if it's a passport because that's the most valid ID everywhere

Answer 14

Yeah, Dude, we started drinking at 7. whats wrong with you guys down there?

Also watch out for the dark ally ways. Canadians do rape.
