    In Finland the age is 18 for mild drinks (less than 21% alcohol) and 21 for drinks containing more than 21% of alcohol...and yes, unfortunately I'm over those limits (wouldn't mind being a teenager or 20 again :D )

    Although the 1984 National Minimum Drinking Age Act in the US prohibits purchase and public posession for anyone under 21, it is up to the States to set what is the drinking age.

    For example, some US States allow consumption of alcohol below the age of 21 if it is in a private setting, or at a restaurant with their guardian.

    There are all kinds rules, all over the legal playing field from State to State. One can be a criminal in one State, but perfectly ok in an other.

    I don't see the sense in that at all. So someone who's 18 couldn't legally buy a whiskey or vodka or whatever, but they could get tanked on 12 pints of beer or stout.:D

    16 years is legal in Spain, but... I don´t remember my first cup of wine!

    Maybe I was a kid of 8 or 9 years, in a wedding or another celebration.

    18 in the Philippines, but you can just buy bear at our local supermarket even if you are under age. You could just say you are buying beer for your father :D
