My brother turns 21 in an hour... Will he be able to buy alcohol at midnight?

[Eli]

I would assume yes.

Anybody have experience with this?

 

[amdskip]

I don't see why not.

 

[Crimson]

Depends on the bar.. the bars in my area generally do not serve at midnight to people turning 21.

thats really odd. where do you live

 

[clamum]

My gf went out around midnight of her 21st and they served her before it was midnight actually. I would say he would be able to. I would slap the person behind the counter upside the head if they refused me.

I think he's just thinking about going to the store and picking some up, not necessarily a bar. Stores sell until 2 or 2:30AM here.

Thanks guys.

As far as I know, all stores here that sell beer, sell it until 2 or 2:30AM, can't remember, 7 days a week.

 

[InverseOfNeo]

I would say yes.

Technically, it'll be 12 on a Monday...
And the 7-11 does it where I live.
Where do you live? Lancaster, PA?

[silverpig]

You can buy it a full 2 years before then here

But the experience of my friends is that you can't get into bars at midnight on your 19th. And since pretty much all liquor stores here are government run and close by 11 pm, I couldn't say about buying it.

Seriously though, is his Monday morning going to be that much better with booze?

 

[Colt45]

I dont think the store is going to give a poop about a couple of hours on 21 years.

only have to be here 19 anyhow

Yeah but in Texas its up to the cities. Alot of cities dont allow the sale of alcohol past midnight in bars. Then theres those dry counties.

I hate Texas and its pre-prohibition liquor laws. I currently live in a city where you can buy beer and wine in the grocery stores, but have to drive ten miles one way to get booze. My wife wants to move to get closer to work, but all the houses we have looked at are in dry cities. Dammit, I don't want to drive half an hour just to get some beer!

 

[upsciLLion]

I know you can in Washington. If all else fails, jump on I-5 and head north.

ups

It was a question for him, cause I wasn't sure.. couldn't think of a reason they wouldn't, but I didn't know.
