Technically, it does not vary between states, because as robboy stated, the legal drinking age in all states is 21. However, it is up to the state to make this rule, and a number of states, mine included (grumble) are considering raising the legal age to 22 or 23, above the average age of graduation for college students. I don't exactly understand the "unaccompanied person may legally drink" bit, though, because I don't think there are rules about whether people under a certain age must be accompanied in order to drink.

Can any one seriously explain the difference between 'having a drink problem' and being an 'alcholic' and what makes one person an alcholic and not another ? Which everyday items can one legally write on in the US but not in the UK and why this legal difference between the two countries? Do the US Electoral College votes, which vary from state to state, have an actual human counterpart? i.e. Are there actual Electoral College individual members? How many hours of sleep should children have each night and does it vary by age?
