A Question For Americans...

**Terinox** · 12-22-2001, 11:56 PM

Well since I live in Canada, and don't know much about the legal system in the states, I thought I'd ask ya'll about this.

In Canada, the legal age to buy alcohol is 19, this is the same for cigarettes and gambling. Porn and lottery is 18.

Now, in terms of the US, is it the same??? I don't think it is, for I believe I have heard it is 21...am I right?? But is it 21 for everything, like smokes, alcohol, strip clubs, gambling, etc...

Am I like completely wrong here ???

Anywho, if someone could let me know the details, I would appreciate it. My cousin when to Las Vegas for a week, and I was like, your only 19, your not going to be able to drink, gamble or go to strip clubs cause the legal age there is 21. Was I wrong??? I hope I wasn't, cause maybe he didn't even bother checking and is now very bored!

Thnx

Just like they said.....21 for beer or Liq (been both places)
But did anyone know that in ND it's legal for a driver's liesense at age 14??
Personally I think 14 is way to young to drive....

Actually the age is different all over Canada - but hell you must live at the centre of the earth (Toronto).

The drinking/smoking/gambling age in Alberta is 18 - suckas!!!

And then you'd run out of the bushes with a fork and knife. What a perfect pre-bedtime protein kick!
