The term referred to the ban of alcohol in the United States is "Prohibition." This period lasted from 1920 to 1933, following the ratification of the 18th Amendment, which prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of Alcoholic Beverages. Prohibition aimed to reduce crime and corruption but ultimately led to an increase in illegal activities, such as bootlegging and speakeasies. It was eventually repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933.

Countries, states, and even municipalities may differ. In the state of California, the legal age to purchase or drink alcohol is currently 21 years of age. So under 21 would be the 'illegal age' to drink, if you are referring to alcoholic beverages. It is my understanding (correct me if I am wrong) that in certain European countries which shall go unnamed, children are allowed to purchase and drink alcoholic beverages at the age of ten. There are still certain counties in certain states of the US, which shall also go unnamed, that ban the sales of alcoholic beverages, whether in stores OR bars. These counties are referred to as 'dry counties'.
You are probably looking for the term "Continental US," also sometimes referred to as "the 48 contiguous states."
