    Legal drinking age in Canada is 19 in the States its 21. Im going to be turning 19 while being in Disney lol. I guess its a pretty good trade off but its still kinda sad :p. Aww well Pirates of the Caribean 2 opens on my birthday I'll just have to go see that.

    I know im not a big drinker anyways, and I've been in my share of clubs. Its just like you wait to turn legal age, like its a big thing and I'm going to miss it. But like I said its a good trade off.

    I'm in the same boat. I'm down here now, and will be turning 19 in July which would've been legal drinking age back in BC.

    But I drink down here anyways, it's not a big deal. Just don't pull a Miracle Dave.

    Haha I only have to be there for about 6 weeks after my bday, Im only in the ICP so Im not there for the entire yr. Im sure I can leave without it, I just have to make up for it when I get home before I start back to school.

    Hehe, bet you wish you were in Alberta like me were the legal drinking age is 18 eh? Although I turned 18 a while ago, and 19 in fact... doesn't matter though, I don't drink anyways.

    Nah, all not being of legal age stops me from doing is paying $4.75 for a glass of beer in a bar.

    I can still go get drunk without being legal age in BC.

    Yeah it's 18 in Manitoba too... you go to the bar a couple times tho and realize it's not all its cracked up to be... I'd still rather sit around a fire and drink with friends anyday than go to a stinky sweaty bar!

    Don't know, the Irish may be, but i would say the Canadiens are a close second, esp Chase haha! ;)

    I wouldn't worry about it. There are plenty of underage people here who drink - you just have to be smart about it.

    You are totally right, Ive had my share of bars here. There really not all that there cracked up to be. I would rather be with friends and have a good time at the beach or around a camp fire. So theres lots of underage drinkers down there?

    I turn 19 in July while I'm there but it doesn't really matter to me.

    Seems like drinking ages are just guidlines and if people really want to risk their job and drink, then by all means go right ahead because it's not too hard.

    Can you drink down there although you're underage?What about going to clubs? What is "Miracle Dave"

    Technically, you can drink down there if you're underage, just like you can drink where you live right now if you're underage, just like you could drink where I am if you're underage.
    That being said, if you get caught, you're literally screwed, no matter where you are. In this case it probably sucks more because its not just being grounded by your parents or a fine... you'll probably get all that and you'll get sent home right away, you'll taint your resume and the list goes on...
    What I think, is that its not worth it, to put your whole Disney experience at risk for a few drinks, but that's just me.

    As for clubs, I believe there are clubs you can go to at downtown Disney if you're underage, but they'll give you a wristband that you hafta wear indicating you're underage and if they so much as see you holding a drink, you'll be kicked out and probably face criminal charges.

    As for miracle dave, I have no idea whatsoever...

    Criminal charges, termination, revocation of visa, restricted rehire from Disney, difficulty in getting another visa...

    I'll just stay sober, I think *chuckles* I dont really drink here anyway!

    OK..I get it. It's not like I need alcohol or anything so it's fine. It's just sad to be ould enough in your own country and not over there :p How old are you guys anyway?
