Throughout most of the world the minimum drinking age is (a) most often 18, followed by(b) no minimum age, and then (c) age 16.

The minimum drinking age in the US is mis-named because the laws frequently only prohibit the purchase and public possession of alcohol. However, the criminal justice system acts as if the law prohibits consumption of adults under the age of 21.
