Not Legal Advice: Generally speaking, minors (anyone under the legal drinking age of 21) are allowed to be present in establishments that serve alcohol. However, local jurisdictions may enforce additional restrictions to this law as they see fit.
In all states, you must be 21 years of age to consume alcohol or to handle, transport, or sell alcohol in a liquor store. At age 18, however, an individual may work as a server in a restaurant that sells alcohol and can sell wine and beer in retail stores.
Parents are not allowed to serve alcohol to their children. Bartenders should prevent and monitor this type of behavior. They are responsible for checking the ID of each individual they serve to ensure they meet the minimum drinking age requirement.
Maryland does not allow the sale of beer or wine in grocery stores or convenience stores. Alcoholic beverages are sold through private retail stores rather than state stores; however, this rule varies between counties. Montgomery County, for instance, only allows the sale of alcohol in ABC or state stores, so you should be aware of your local ordinances. Local laws also determine the hours and days that alcohol may be sold.
Our relationship with alcohol is as complicated as it comes. It brings us joy and connection, but it can also lead to recklessness, illness, unemployment, and even death. Drinking embodies both the bubbles in the champagne and the despair at the bottom of a bottle. We must strive to find balance when it comes to drinking.
Our brain is the tool of choice. If we can think clearly, we can drink responsibly. Check out some tips to become a better drinker at Menshealth.com.
