I confess not to be a lawyer and therefore not to be a good resource 
on this, but i will pipe in anyway to say that i think this would 
vary state by state, and in some places, county by county.

For example, when i lived in New York City, in Manhattan (1967-69) 
the drinking age there was 18, while in the rest of New York State it 
was 21. Now, i understand that it's all uniform.

However, i mention this because there are still towns and counties 
that are dry or have blue laws, when other parts of the same state do 
not. I suspect one may need to take these into account at events...
