I'm going on a trip to Calgary Canada and I see that the drinking age in Alberta is 18?

Question

but I hear if you're American, you still have to be 21...is this true?

Answer 1

Nope. You do not have to be 21 at all in Canada anywhere. They will only check your id to see if you are 18 - not if you are american or if you are 21. Enjoy.

Answer 2

The law of the Province or State you are in applies so if you are in Alberta, you can legally consume alcohol at age 18.

Answer 3

No you can go ahead and drink if you are 18 or over. Calgary is a GREAT city, and make sure to go to Banff, The mountains are so beautiful. If you make it as far as Jasper, then the Jasper Pizza Place is a great place to eat! JPP rocks!!

(mind you it's been a while since I have been there hehe)

Answer 4

No 18 is the age for all I have skied Banaff and been to Calagry multiple times drink up and have a good one if you are going to Banaff to ski stop in at Earls there awesome and have a great young crowd.

Answer 5

Answer 6

And remember that Canadian beer is at least 5.5% alcohol, compared to the --what--3%? of American beer, as well as having more flavour. Many Americans have come to grief after forgetting about that alcohol content.

Answer 7

nope, 18 for everyone.

so remember, have fun but don't party too hard.

&don't drink if you're gunna drive.
