    Question Can Minors Import Alcohol

    Hello, I am 18 years old, and I wanted some information about alcohol possession.

    What is considered possession? If I were to legally buy alcohol in Canada, could I legally transport closed bottles back into the U.S.A?

    Being an 18 year old male US citizen, would customs be likely (and legally allowed) to search my car upon my return to the states?

    Thank you for reading, I just want to be able to enjoy alcohol responsibly and legally!!

    Sam

    You are not old enough to enjoy alcohol legally in the US. I suspect after you go through customs inspection, you will be detained for local police to charge you with MIP.

    You may not be in possession of alcohol AT All in the USA if you are under the age of 21, regardless of where you purchase it. If you are stopped at the border - and you can be - it will be confiscated and you could face criminal charges.

    Don't risk it. It's only booze, not worth a criminal record.
