San Francisco

^consider yourself lucky, if and when I come - I can't even have a drink, out of a pint glass or other wise.

not true. California is one of the states where you CAN drink under 21 but not in Licensed premises. So you could have beer etc... at a bbq at some ones house.

Allowed in California:

On private non-alcohol-selling premises with parental consent
On private non-alcohol-selling premises without need of parental consent
For religious purposes
For medical purposes
For educational purposes

My favorite is "educational purposes" lol
