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. Technically speaking a 17 year old is not supposed to drink any alcohol at all. It may be allowed for a 17 year old to drink alcohol with the permission of the parents.
But resentment among 18-to-20-year-olds simmers. For much of the 20th century, the legal drinking age in the United States had a bumpy ride. After Prohibition ended in 1933, you had to be 21 to sidle up to a bar. During the height of the Vietnam War, 18 was your ticket to a six-pack. But by the late â70s, the minimum drinking age was all over the map, literally, with various states having tacked on an extra year or two.
