What is underage drinking in the military? When I was in you could go to the E club drink all you wanted. or go to the commissary and buy what you wanted. all you need was your “ green card “
The current regs mandate that no military personnel may drink alcohol if said drinking violates CIVILIAN law in the area where such drinking takes place. Here in the States, it's the magic "21".
It's ironic, because when we deployed to places like Italy or Spain, the drinking age was 18 and the base E-clubs acted accordingly. Then, once returning home, those who had had no troubles at all were suddenly lawbreakers. The fact that the military knuckled under to the MADD crowd rankles all of us.
