Is under 17 drinking a problem in America?

Question

It seems they only start at 18? My mates drink heaps and I'm the only one who never really drinks. I live in Australia.

Answer 1

yes, its illegal in the US. its illegal to smoke or drink until you're the age of 21

Answer 2

YES.

Answer 3

It's a stupid law, but yes it's true. Best thing that ever happened to me was the day I turned old enough to do everything I'd been doing since I was 12.

Answer 4

Okay, the first answer wasn't right.

First, its legal to smoke at 18, not 21.

But it is illegal to drink until you turn 21 in America.

However, I know lots of kids, from 13-20, who drink regularly. Some drink for fun, others to get drunk. But it happens a lot.

I'm not sayin its good. I don't drink, ever. I've been offered, I just dont really like it.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Yes it is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to drink in the America, and of course they have to prove their age with ID cards.
