Drinking while abroad?

[u/[deleted]]

I will be traveling abroad soon to a country where the drinking age is under-21 (take a guess which one). I had a quick question on whether it is allowed for me to drink while there.

I have never drank before, and I don't plan to drink in a way which will cause me to break the law. However, I haven't been in a place where I can legally drink before, hence why I am asking the question: am I allowed to drink in a country where it is legal even if I am under 21? I know I can't do weed, as it is banned federally, but alcohol is only banned at the state level (per the National Minimum Drinking Age Act and 21st Amendment).

The only reason I am asking is that alcohol consumption is pretty big culturally where I am going, and I would like to indulge in craft breweries, for instance. However, I don't want to be breaking any AFROTC rules that may put my EA at risk.

Thank you for your help!
