The Minimum Drinking Age Limit (MLDA) of countries varies a lot, depending upon their respective socioeconomic situations. For example, in Delhi, the legal drinking age is 25, even though most of us here start drinking when we’re 15, smoking by 17 and have illegitimate children by 19.
By the time we’re 25, we’re just returning from rehab, having already outgrown the compound, because now our 5 year old kids are smoking and drinking.
Then there are some other countries which prescribe no minimum age to drink alcohol , either because the law is ambiguous or, there is no law. In these countries, one may consume alcohol at any age, typically with parental permission. There may be age restrictions for purchasing.
