difference between us an other countries drinking ages
with citations Because the United States is among an extremely small minority of countries with a drinking age of 21 (Mongolia, Indonesia and Palau are the others), drinking by 18-20 year-old adults is not as intensely scrutinized in other parts of the world as it is in America.n these countries the introduction of alcohol typically comes from parents. In the United States, where the drinking age is 21, parents are not legally afforded that opportunity, and as a result initiation to alcohol consumption is not responsibly controlled.
