Can You Buy Alcohol Online Under 21



Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill recruited eight participants, ages 18 to 20, to try to buy wine, beer and other alcoholic beverages online. They were told to lie about their age when filling out order forms. If they were asked to verify their age by a delivery person, they were instructed to say they were not yet 21, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The study found 60 percent of online alcohol sellers used weak, if any, age verification. Of the 45 successful orders, half of the sites used no age verification. Age verification at time of delivery was inconsistent, they noted.

Buying alcohol online can be an easy way to get your favorite beverages brought straight to your door.

Even then,eBay alcohol sales are largely relegated to collectible wines, and the companypolicy is to not allow for the listing of alcohol to ensure it is followingthe statutes of individual states.


Of course, just as parents and governments closed oneloophole, teens swiftly began finding other options. Now, underage teens are lookingto other sites like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist to purchase alcohol. Thestraightforward transaction process, combined with a lack of regulation andoversight, can make an already fraught situation even more dangerous,especially if it involves meeting with a stranger.


Thankfully, many states are already taking steps to further curtail online alcohol sales and keep our kids safe. The Attorneys General of 46 different states signed a letter calling for vendors to take a stronger stance by preventing underage children from using their platforms to purchase alcohol.


The dangerous effects of underage drinking are well established.Research by the Centers for Disease Control reveals that excessiveunderage drinking causes more than 4,300 deaths each year. By reducing easyaccess to alcohol, these numbers can hopefully be curtailed.

By taking the time to start theconversation about underage drinking, parents can keep their childreninformed about the risks and dangers associated with purchasing alcohol online.Take the pledge today andcommit with your child to stop underage drinking.
