| | But any one under 21 years of age may be denied entry, or not be served, or may be requested to leave the premises where the alcohol beverages are sold, served, or consumed. | | | Also if under18 years old you can still drink alcohol as long it's in the immediate presence of a parent or guardian or spouse, who is at least twenty-one years of age, while not on the premises of an establishment licensed for the retail sale of alcoholic beverages. | | | Here is an interesting law; any one under 16 year of age is not allowed to enter a place where alcohol beverages are sold, served, or consumed unless with someone who is over 21 years of age. |

| | Minimum Legal Drinking Age in College Communities |
| | Countries with lower drinking ages suffer from alcohol-related problems similar to those in the U.S. [14] It was recently reported that New Zealand is considering raising its drinking age to 21 again after rates of teen binge drinking and drunken fighting increased when that country lowered its drinking age to 18 in 1999. | | | State motor vehicle fatality data from the 48 continental states found that lowering the drinking age for beer from 21 to 18 resulted in an 11% increase in fatalities among that age group. | | | Full-time college students on average drink more heavily than their non-college peers [11], and are heavily targeted by alcohol advertising and local bar promotions as a prized market for the alcoholic-beverage industry. |
