Yeah I figured you might have thought that, yeah basically you're legally allowed to buy alcohol in any form from 18+, but you have to show ID, e.g. passport, driving licence etc. if you're believed to look under 21. I'm fine in pubs, not been asked once since I turned 18 but have been IDed once or twice in supermarkets
It gets a bit murkier if you're not buying the drink yourself or consuming in a public place (and I dunno whether this applies outside of the UK too), because I mean you're allowed to drink alcohol at home from whatever age, and consuming it in a pub if your parents are buying it as part of a meal, but you're just not allowed to buy or drink in a public place if you're under 18.
Oh... in the U.S., we just disobay all of our drinking laws to result in thousands of deaths each year
