Canada places itself somewhere in the middle when it considers the legal drinking age. The average drinking age in Canada is 19, which is an inviting factor for students living south of the border. Many high school graduates in the US head up north to enjoy the lower drinking age permit since the legal drinking age in USA is 21.
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.
