but Wisconsin is the only state that allows parents/guardians to purchase alcohol for their children at bars or restaurants. Obviously this is assuming the parent/guardian is present.
I'm not sure the laws and all that, but I know growing up at restaurants our parents would always order us boys (me and my brothers) frozen Ritas and stuff like that. Was never an issue in S.La

This was in restaurants, I don't think bartenders would have let us in bars at 14-15 and let our parents or anyone else buy us alcohol and them allow us to sit there and drink. (besides the obvious HS hangout bars that we all partied at that catered to underage clientele).

19 for beer, 21 for liquor. Reason for 19 beer and not 18 is we can't have 18 year olds who are still in highschool buying beer.
It is a small compromise and allows college students and most military to start at 19.

It should be outlawed until pot becomes legal. Then you assholes would stop making it out to be so evil and finally vote to make it legal.

that doesn't take into account that the brain isn't finished developing at 18.


Its not finished at 21 either. Its actually around 25. The government just picked an age in the middle.

I am amazed no one hasn't ever challenged this in court. It seems discriminatory that you can be legal as a adult at 18, but the only thing you can"t is legally buy and consume alcohol.
