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.
Full disclosure: I grew up in New York City when the drinking age was 18. Of course people were also being drafted at that age into the U.S. military and sent to Vietnam, so there was a certain logic in treating 18 as the official entry into adulthood. Like the New York of my youth, the minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) is 18 in Alberta, Manitoba and QuÃ©bec, and 19 in the rest of Canada. The year in which a young person âturns legalâ can be a perilous one.
