How strictly enforced is it?
What age do you have to be to sell or serve alcohol in your nation?
Did your nation always have the drinking age it does now?
Roedean's drinking age is twenty in most states and twenty-one in a few. It is mostly strictly enforced with most sellers being required to card for all alcohol purchases, although some places, such as restaurants, may be exempted from the requirement to card.
On the other hand, to sell alcohol, you have to be at least sixteen years of age, and to serve alcohol, you have to be at least fourteen years of age. However, to own a liquor store or other business that sells alcohol, you must be at least eighteen years of age.
The drinking age is determined for each state by a local referendum. The issue is indeed controversial, and is the topic of constant debate and scrutiny. It is generally argued that the current system should be maintained as it's effective at de-normalising alcohol, preventing drinking by teenagers, and reducing road fatalities caused by drunk driving.
It should also be mentioned that letting a child who is under the age of eighteen drink alcohol at home is considered totally unacceptable, and parents can be prosecuted for child abuse if they let their children drink alcohol.
The drinking age historically was eighteen in most states, but was raised to twenty in the 1980s due to problems with drunk driving and drinking among high school students.
