DRINKING LAWS

May the state change the drinking age? 

• Yes. Buying beer, wine, or liquor is considered a privilege rather than a right, so a state may change the drinking age.

May the drinking age be different for beer and liquor? 

• No. In Ohio, no person under the age of 21 may purchase intoxicating liquor, nor may a person under the age of 21 purchase beer.

May a person under the state drinking age buy beer, wine or liquor with parental consent?

•  A person under the drinking age may buy or drink beer, wine or liquor, when accompanied by a parent, legal guardian, or spouse who is over the drinking age.
