In certain US states (most of them?), it’s legal for people under 21 to drink alcohol with parental supervision. Ironically, being exposed to Old Milwaukee Lite piss-water when I was about 7 made me stay away from booze until I was 21.
yeah genuinely - i feel like associating vodka with my mother/family events much more strongly than Cool Fun Parties definitely helped dull the lustre of going wild when i turned 18, and “underage” drinking made sure i knew my limits by the time i went out into the world on my own. its good for the soul and that’s why the average amerikkkan is Like That 😔🙏
i don’t rate much about this country but the ability to have the odd drink at when you’re 8 is certainly one upside. having to wait til 21 is mad.

same… except i was 17 when started drinking which was at least 2 years after my friends began pestering me to drink with them
Yeah but the functional drinking age is actually much lower, like the first time I got drunk with friends we were 12
