Whoa. Here in the States it is 21 for all alcoholic beverages.

It's 18 for all types of alcohol. Although I have vague memories of a trip to Vienna when I was 17, and not being able to buy vodka, so compensating by buying lots and lots of wine.
Actually, the drinking age is 5 (as long as you have parental permission, and possibly as long as it's in your own home), but the legal age to buy alchohol is 18. It's all very confusing.

Oh, yeah, I was talking about the legal buying age here. Don't know if there is a legal drinking age actually.
is the legal drinking age the same for all of the US? When I was younger, here is NC it used to be 18 for beer and wine and 21 for liquor...then it changed to 21 for all types of alcohol. Back then, it varied between states....so is it now 21 everywhere? I'm rambling I know and it doesn't really matter since now I'm old and can drink whatever and whenever I want!
i think it's 21 everywhere but i'm old enough to get what i want too

Legal drinking age in the US is set state by state with strong pressure from the federal gov't not to allow those under 21 to purchase alcohol.
Repression breeds depravity. Europeans can drink responsibly, but stupid american kids binge and binge and binge because they don't learn to drink with their parents and because it's so taboo.

We have bingeing here too- if we believe the papers we are all drunk, all of the time, and vomiting too!

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

It's 21 everywhere except for Louisiana. New Orleans makes such a profit off of 18-20 year-olds buying alcohol during Mardis Gras that they asked the national government if they could lower the drinking age to 18. In return the national government does not fund highway construction in the state of Louisiana.

Yep-according to the papers, all students in Britain are drunk all the time. This is only half true
