The legal age is from 18 to 21 in most places. If medical warnings are any thing to go by, "Appropriate age" does not exist. Drinking is dangerous at any age. Yes I realize various researches 'proving' moderate drinking as good, I would be wary of any thing which is habit forming.

18 years old or as possible people who drink should be matured enough. Drinking is a bad habit. It should be done accasionally not habitually.

above 20 i believe. at least the hormones settles a little not as crazy as when we are teenagers, hopefully people can think wisely without hormones influence. LOL.
