That is not always the case but is something to remember. In terms of drinking alcohol and the entrance to certain places like discotheques the age in the Dominican Republic is also 18 years old.

Every state has their own history as far as the legal drinking ages go. North Carolina had no known legal drinking age prior to Prohibition. It was 18 after Prohibition, and it was 18 for beer and wine after the passage of the 26th Amendment, and 21 for liquor. Beer and wine was raised to 19 in 1983, and it was raised to 21 in 1986 after the passage of the National Minimum Drinking Age Act. It has remained 21 ever since. Underage drinking is legal for religious purposes, medical purposes, and educational purposes.
