Drinking in the States?

Question

This might seem like an obvious question, but I honestly don't know the answer! In Vancouver, the legal drinking age is 19. If I go to the united states, and go into a bar, will I be able to get a drink?

Answer 1

NOPE YOU GOTTA BE 21 HERE IT SUCKS IT IS RIDICULOUS YOU CAN DIE FOR A POINTLESS WAR OR VOTE IN A POINTLESS ELECTION BUT NOT GET DRUNK

Answer 2

No.  You have to be 21.  Some bars, like the one I work in, won't even allow you through the door unless you are 21 or with a parent.  Bring your ID at all times, and maybe your passport.  Do NOT bring your passport as your ONLY means of identification.  Not all bartenders understand what a passport looks like, and may refuse to have you even occupy their space.  I am sorry!

Answer 3

no you have to be 21

Answer 4

Not unless you are 21. And if your i.d. says anything else you should not get served. I know in some places like Saint Thomas, you do not have to be 21 even if you are from the United States and say 18 years old you are allowed to drink. However, anywhere in the US, 21.  

Answer 5

No, you must be 21.  In some states, however (like Wisconsin), your parents can buy you alcohol in restaurants.  

Answer 6

The legal drinking age in the US is 21.

Answer 7

You do have to be 21 in all 50 states.  :(

And to the person who said not to use a passport for identification:  It is a legal form, and you are REQUIRED to accept it as such according to Federal Law.

Answer 8

The legal drinking age in the united states is 21, lame but thats the law.

Answer 9

It's 21 except in New Orleans, where I believe it is 19 or 18 as well. Still if you are 19 you can pretty easily get alcohol. Of course that would be illegal.
