Brought to you by my discovery that some people think that “the customer is always right” isn’t the slogan of a long-dead department store, but rather it’s an actual call the cops law.

The foreigner in question almost certainly did not know the age was 21. This happened to me in the US. Sitting with my mum and sister in the hotel bar, having a quiet beer. Then I get asked for my ID and it all gets very confusing. “But I’m 18, what’s the problem?”
Takes the drink away and hands you a gun and car keys.
I often think living in the UK is boring, then I remember this kind of thing and feel a whole lot better about the situation
What an earth would be the point in going to uni if you can’t drink?
Boring is good. I too would like to live in a boring village, Just loaf around and watch leaves fall or something.
Old enough to kill but not for drinking.
Wait, you can‘t drink in the US even with permission from your parents?
in some places it’s legal to drink while underage if it’s in your own house and with a parent’s permission
Very few states allow it, and none of them in public. It’s only ever allowed in a private residence (usually the residence of your parent/guardian) while under the direct supervision of your parent/guardian. Even then it can become a crime if somehow the law gets involved and they feel like pressing charges.
