>>9786072
What is this, in the States it is illegal for minors (21 and under) to purchase and consume alcohol. That being said, in some states implying paternal constent, a minor may be allowed to consume alcohol. Since it was not purcahse by them, they may consume since not consuming is conditional upon not buying, or is it?

But what SHOULD a minor do? Let alone an adult? I'm not going to go that in depth but I will say that a being that belongs to a soverign state should do what is legally expected of them as according to the laws that govern over them.

Back to the question, SHOULD a minor consume alcohol? A minor is free to be "free", but only to a certain extent. They are not given the rights of adults, that is what being a minor means.

An adult, in the United States, is anyone over 18 years of age. So can a 19 year old purchase and consume alcohol? No longer constrained by the moniker "minor" they are free to do as they please without parental constent. So can they so in those states where underage drinking is allowed, can the 19 year old consume alcohol without parental constent?
