Well, the legal age for drinking in any state that I can think of is 21. So some would say 21 is the youngest– and then they can go buy it themselves. I dont really agree with this. I remember when I was 12 or 13 my parents would let me have 1 glass of wine with Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. And it was usually watered down with ginger ale. Really! Later, when I was 15 or so, they would let me OCCASIONALLY have a beer or glass of wine. Not too often — maybe a few times a year. The idea was to allow me to get a little experience with it, under supervision, so that I would be less likely to begin drinking to excess when I turned 18 and could buy it myself. Or at least not constantly drinking to excess. Well, it seemed to work very well with me and all three of my sisters. When I turned 18, I would regularly drink scotch with my father. But I could only buy beer and wine (it was 1978, before the stupid drinking-age law was passed.) Again, it was under supervision- well, sometimes. Because I moved onto campus and would occasionally have the drinking bout with the other folks on campus. But generally, by then I had an understanding of alcohol and knew to be careful not to abuse it.
