ALCOHOL

If you are under 21, you cannot legally purchase or possess alcohol in the United States. It doesn’t matter if it’s beer, wine, liquor, wine coolers, spiked punch, exotic cocktails, or alcopops – it’s against the law for anyone under 21 to possess alcoholic beverages. Alcohol is the most commonly used drug in the country and, among teens, is the most abused substance.
