In the US? If you are talking about the rest of the world there are a lot of places where it's legal to drink at 17 or under. Buying is often another matter.

Don't worry, it's legit URL, it is just masked with ShadyURL - "Don't just shorten your URL, make it suspicious and frightening." :D

We spoke with management and they will make an exception for one person because we said he's a guest of honor. He won't be drinking. Unfortunately they can't make any more exceptions, so under 21 year olds you're out of luck.
I think Hot_Bid had to cheese a few palms to make this happen. GOUDA MUCH?!

More likely HB provided a legalese cost analysis of why it's more profitable to let in one non-21 than turn away a huge crowd of thirsty nerds. 
Can't wait to show up and meet everyone

The United States: Puritanical since 1984
From Wikipedia:
In response to the National Minimum Drinking Age Act in 1984, which reduced by up to 10% the federal highway funding of any state which did not have a minimum purchasing age of 21, the New York Legislature raised the drinking age from 19 to 21, effective December 1, 1985. (The drinking age had been 18 for many years before the first raise in 1982.) Persons under 21 are prohibited from purchasing or possessing alcohol, from consuming alcohol in public (though they may do so in the privacy of their own homes with consent of a legal guardian), or from having a blood alcohol level of more than 0.02% while driving.
Too bad that place isn't one of those joints that also serves food and doesn't restrict entrance based on age. I actually drink at places like that a lot.
