User: What is the legal drinking age?
Assistant: The legal drinking age in most states is 21 years old.  It is illegal for anyone under the age of 21 to drink alcohol, and you can get in trouble with the law if you do.  There are exceptions to this rule for religious reasons.  If you are going to drink make sure you do it with friends and not alone.  You will also want to have a designated driver in case if too much alcohol is consumed.  You should never drive under any circumstances if you have consumed alcohol.  Driving under the influence is very dangerous, and can take lives if an unplanned car crash happens.
