At what age is it legal to buy alcohol in your country?

It is the same here you have to be 18 but they do have signs saying you have to be 21. They will ask for id if unsure but is it not strange that is the legal age is 18, that they will have a sign saying over 21 ?

In the state I live in the legal age is 21. I think it's a national thing but, I don't know I'm older than that LOL

21 here. 18 in the UK, huh? I always thought kids got a pint with their school lunches. I grew up near the Mexican border, so on Fri and Sat nights we would all go to Juarez and drink. I guess I was about 15 when I started.

Before the 90's came around it was 18 in the United States, Now it is 21 and i believe that to be a good age. It's the same age to enter a club i guess maybe because there is a lot of drinking going on in those places. I know a lot of kids go on cruises with friends because in other countries they let you drink at the age of 18 and they want to get drunk and have a good time. Some places really do enforce this law and others don't seem to care at all.

In Portugal it dependes where you are, like on the mainland it is 18 but here on the islands of the Azores you can buy alcool at the age of 16.
