You can't buy any in the USA but in other countries you can alcoholics
There is not a state where someone under the age of 21 can purchase alcohol. However, any state can pass a law to change the legal age limit for their state but none have done so.
The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 withholds revenue from states that allow the purchase of alcohol by anyone under the age of 21. Prior to the effective date of that Act, the drinking age varied from state to state.
Under age drinking is when you drink when you are under the legal age limit.
What is the legal drinking age in your state? Does your state allow under-age persons to be in bars? Does the bar owner allow under-age people in his establishment? If those questions can be answered in the affirmative then she can probably accompany you.
There are a few states that will allow it, normally with a court order.
Drinking age is governed by state law. The minimum age to purchase alcohol is 21 in all 50 states. However, a number of states, including Oregon, have exceptions that allow people who are under 21 but over 18 to drink in private places, such as in the home, with parental permission.
The legal drinking age in Texas was 18 in 1977. Texas lowered the minimum drinking age from 21 to 18 in 1973, raised it from 18 to 19 in 1981, and raised it from 19 to 21 in 1986.
The legal minimum drinking age is 21 in all 50 U.S. states.

Prior to the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984, individual U.S. states determined at what age people were allowed to drink. The NMDA legislation required all states to raise their minimum purchase and public possession of alcohol age to 21; however, the Act did not specifically set a legal age for drinking.Minors (those under the age of 21) are permitted to drink under special circumstances, such as when accompanied by a parent or spouse over the age of 21, or when prescribed for medical purposes by a licensed physician.
21, just like it is in every other state of the US. ^ that is NOT true. I am not sure about New Mexico's rules but if you look up the laws by state there are a lot of places that allow drinking under the age of 21!
It is legal in some states to sit at the bar if you are under the legal drinking age, (21 in all U.S. states.) Check with local law resources to learn what is permissible. Many restaurants & taverns have policies against anyone younger than the legal drinking age sitting at the bar.
