alcoholic beverages

 

Drinking & driving don't go together, we all know that! But have you ever heard about taking your own bottle of wine into a restaurant? Get to know all the do's and don'ts! Read this.

 

The legal age for buying and consuming alcohol is 21 in all states. If you want to buy alcohol or would like to enter a club or bar, the owner is allowed to ask for some formal identification, being a passport or driving license. Laws governing the availability of alcoholic beverages in restaurants and stores vary from state to state. Some restaurants do not serve alcohol but you are allowed to bring your own. They will open the bottle for you and supply the glasses for a small surcharge. It is absolutely forbidden to drink or carry alcohol in public places without having the bottle fully covered. In some states alcohol can only be transported in the boot of the car, because it is illegal to carry it in the car cabin. It goes without saying that you cannot drink alcohol while driving.
