The legal drinking age is a non-legal term describing the situation that exists from the application of various alcohol licensing laws.
In a principal instance, it sets the minimum age of customer below which licensed retailers of alcoholic beverages may not supply. Alternatively, the legal drinking age is applied more extensively as a prohibition on persons below the minimum age being on premises licensed to sell alcohol. At its strictest, the term describes the age below which persons must have their alcohol intake properly supervised by those responsible for them. Rarely will the minimum age be consistent in all cases. Indeed in each case, certain exceptions will exist in some jurisdictions.
In most countries the minimum age to purchase alcohol is 18, but there are notable exceptions (see list below). Some countries distinguish between drinks with lower alcohol-content (such as beer and wine) compared to stronger spirit-based drinks.
