Drinking has never been legal here.... buuut, they allow you drink at bars if you look like someone into that stuff... And we've got a lotta local shops selling dry gin and chelsea and all that stuff... pretty much anyone can buy... that's why it's never been legal... if you're not up to 20 and dn't look responsible and you're caught buying that by a police... you either bribe them or find yourself in the police station.... often times
