Underage drinking is when a person who is not of legal age drinks alcohol. In the USA, the legal drinking age is 21. Any younger, and you can be arrested if your blood alcohol reads as .01%. The legal drinking age is different in other countries, so always check the local law if you are traveling internationally. 18 is the legal age in many of the countries in Europe. If you decided to partake in underage drinking, always be safe and make sure you have a designated driver so you are not driving while under the influence. DUI's in underage people are always worse- your license can be suspended for several years.
