mostly 18, sometimes 16. But in the United States, it's 21. Main reason why American college students leave the country for spring break. Also proven to be a trap for international students coming to study.
Scenario 1 (local American student)
Bar tender: Can I see an ID?
Student: (hands over fake ID)
Bar tender: Looking at your ID it does not appear to be real, I am sorry but you have to leave.
Student: WTF!?! I am seriously sick and tired of waiting until 21. I am going to Canada for spring break where the drinking age is 18!! Maybe party in Montreal! Plus they are generous to accept my American drivers license there.
Scenario 2 (International student studying in the US)
Bar tender: Can I see your ID?
Student: (hands over a European passport)
Bar tender: I'm sorry but you gotta be 21 to drink
Student: WTF!? I thought you have to be 18
Bar tender: Nope, it's 21, and it will always be
Student: Then I was tricked, in my country I can drink at age 18. The US has the stupidest drinking age ever and they seem to hate college students like us...

Get the Drinking Paint mug.While being so intoxicated and lazy you are unable to leave your bed before getting another beer. Often times friends have to bring you beer in order for the bed drinking to continue.
Boy in bed one: Buddy you've been bed drinking all day long.
Boy in bed two: I know man, this is the best birthday ever.

Get the Bed Drinking mug.Having drinks while doing house work or other domestic necessities (packing for a trip, preparing to move, organizing the garage). The alcohol acts as a brain calming agent that allows you to drone on and focus on mundane tasks where you might otherwise get distracted or depressed.
We are moving in a week and I have a million knick-knacks to box up. Time to start the chore drinking and knock those knick-knacks out.
I'm looking forward to moving, but I have to make baked beans because my boyfriend is coming over tonight. I'll just start the chore drinking and get it all done lickety split.
