The legal drinking age varies from place to place, but it is generally between 18 and 21 years old. Some places permit the drinking of beer at age 18, but strong alcohol only at age 21. Other places permit drinking only at 21 or older. Young people therefore often drive from one place to another with less strict drinking laws.Generally speaking, in the US, people aged between 18 and 21 are allowed to drive, vote, marry, raise children, keep full-time jobs, join the army and even buy guns, but NOT to have a glass of beer. In many places, people aged between 18 and 21 are allowed to go into bars but not allowed to drink. Another even more interesting aspect of American drinking-age laws is that in some places people below the legal drinking age are not even allowed to sell alcohol.In most places these drinking laws are fairly strictly observed. You may, for example, find people lining up to get into a bar and discover that the queue is caused by a guard on the door and he is asking everybody to show his ID card. If you ask the guard why he wants to look at people’s ID card, he will inform you that he actually wants to see if you reach the drinking age. In such situations Americans often show their driving licenses, which have their dates of birth written on them.1.What’s the minimum age when people can drink whatever they want in any place?A) 21.
