    US: Drinking age is 21. Whether you can drink in public is a matter of local law.

  • @LorenPechtel the drinking age is a matter of state law; it just happens that the states all have the same age limit.

    @phoog It's not "just happens"--the feds applied a lot of pressure to establish the drinking age at 21. Besides, how it came about isn't what he's asking.

    @LorenPechtel For that matter, he's not asking what the laws are; he's asking where to find a source summarizing these laws

(This is not legal advice.)

Wikipedia normally provides an adequate summary of countries' laws and regulations in common areas of interest to travelers, such as motorcycle helmets and drinking age.

For example, a Google search for [drinking age in usa] returned the "Legal drinking age" Wikipedia page as its first result. A similar page exists for drinking in public, namely "United States open container laws".
