what is the drinking age in the canada
Full disclosure: I grew up in New York City when the drinking age was 18. Of course people were also being drafted at that age into the U.S. military and sent to Vietnam, so there was a certain logic in treating 18 as the official entry into adulthood. Like the New York of my youth, the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) is 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and QuÃ©bec, and 19 in the rest of Canada. The year in which a young person âturns legalâ can be a perilous one.
