Minor's Permit Requirements
A minor is a person under 18 years of age. Minors must have their application for a driver license or any change of license class signed by their parents or legal guardians.
NOTE: Minors may not work as a driver for pay until they are 18 years old and licensed in California and they may not drive a school bus containing pupils.
To get a permit, you must:
Be at least 15½, but under 18 years of age.
Complete the application requirements.
Have your parents’ or guardians’ signatures on the DL 44.
Pass a traffic laws and road signs test. If you fail the test, you must wait one week before taking it again. This will give you time to study.
If you are between 15½ and 17½, provide proof that you have met one of the following requirements:
completed driver education (DE) and driver training (DT). (DL 387, DL 388, DL 388A, OL 237, or OL 238)
completed DE and are taking DT. (DL 387, DL 392, OL 237, or OL 392)
enrolled and participating in an approved integrated DE/DT program. (DL 400)
The provisional permit is not valid until you start your behind-the-wheel driver training with an instructor or reach age 17½.
If you only have a provisional permit and you plan to drive outside of California, contact the driver licensing office in that state or country before you drive.
NOTE: If you are at least 17½, you may obtain a permit without completing DE or DT. However, to get a license before you are 18 years old, you must provide proof of DE/DT completion.

I assumed you wanted the legal driving age, but in case you wanted the legal limits for driving under the influence of alcohol, here that is:
It is illegal to drive with a BAC of .08% or more (.04% or more if you drive commercial vehicles; .01% or more if under 21).

California
- No one under the age of 21 is allowed to consume or possess alcohol. It's illegal to drive a motor vehicle with a BAC of .01 or more if under the age of 21. For anyone 21 years of age or older may not drive if they have a BAC of .08 or higher.
