  Yeah they are VERY strict around here on serving drinks when you are under age. Most clubs and bars you can’t even get in if you are under 21. If you really want to drink my only suggestion would be to “pre-party” at the hotel and then go to a 18 and older club. I am sure your TM would have suggestions on what to do in this situation as I am sure many people traveling will be in the same situation as you

  Well you are now old enough to handle alcohol and vote but not consume alcohol. And places are very strict about under age drinking. I suggest as mentioned before finding a couple of good under 21 clubs and I know in certain areas there are some good ones like in Vegas and LA.
  
  You don’t need to drink to have a good time. <!--graemlin::eek:--> Imagine that! I’m 35 and I always have a good time. I prefer to spend the same amt of money on a couple of bottles and relax. But thats just me.

  Hey,
  
  I was 19 when i did the Western Highlights tour this summer, and to be honest there was only one night which i remember being a little bit sucky cos of my age. The majority of the time, we had ‘drink-ups’ in our rooms which was heaps of fun or, in some places, i went out with the rest earlier and was able to stay with them.. in san diego i was able to get into a bar and a friend bought me some drinks. It’s all luck of the draw i guess.. have fun!!
