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.
Parental consent has nothing to do with the laws in place. If you are underage by the laws view, you are still underage. if you wonder if marriage emancipates you, yes it does.
No. You must be an adult, or have parental permission if 16 or older.
Go With An adult, I think
Go with an adult.
Not in the eyes of the law. You have right to decide over your baby but that is where the adult part ends.
in the united kingdom you can drink from the age of 4 if you have parental permission and are in your own home In America it depends on the state when the laws are, but most you have to be 21 to buy it. Most kids that get alcohol underage have friends older relatives or even their own parents buy if for them. But you can get ticketed and fined for underage drinking as well as the adult can go to jail for supplying to a minor, so- better think it through.
It depends on the age of the "underage" relative. If they are 17 or older i would let it be. however, if any younger i would tell mom or dad. after all its family right????
