legal drinking ages vary from country to country....is it a little extreme that it's 21 in the united states?

in canada it's 18/19 depending what province you live in. what's the legal age in your country?

@beermeplease i could be wrong bt in the united kingdo,m i thought is was eighteen but some pubs say it is twenty one and will ask for proof of age if there is any doubt
@smiler2012 i looked it up. its 18 in the uk. i can't imagine the uk having it at 21.

@beermeplease 😆well that is perfectly true it is the discression of the owner i guess if you are twenty one or not how they can get away with that legally i do not know as it is eighteen in the united kingdom as you rightly said

@smiler2012 When you're 4'9" and can barely see above the bar top you are at an automatic disadvantage 😐

@SunshineGirl 🤔sorry that is not an excuse too question your honestly over your age because of your size where is common sense and discression

@smiler2012 It's fine by me, I'm used to it. Usually young people behind the bar who are just trying to do their best.

@SunshineGirl 🤔i was going too say when you arer challenged by people who are younger than yourself make you feel small but i was rather insensitive there. but seriously suppose they are rather sort of jobsworths in a sense probably in fear if they serving somebody under age it will drop them in it but unfortunetly it does happen and people slip through the net and are served under age
