Excellent answer by Bubbls. It is entirely dependant on the legal drinking age and regulations imposed by the nationality of the airline you are travelling. For Qantas flights for instance, the drinking age is 18 and over. It is irrelevant what countrys air space you are travelling in.
Mind you, that could be fun.. imagine the flight attendants madly running around confiscating everyones drinks as you fly over Saudi Arabia and then returning them after you pass it.

The drinking age depends on the regulations of the country that the airline is operating under. However, most countries are members of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which recommends safe operating standards for all of its member countries. I believe that ICAO has set a drinking age of 21 for international operations. However, each country can establish its own regulations and notify ICAO that it is doing so.
I searched the web and could not find any information on an airline under the name of Euro Air. Therefore, I could not determine which country regulates its operations.
If you are flying on a US airline, you cannot bring alcohol on board and drink it. The regulations prohibit a person from drinking unless it is served by airline personnel. And airline personnel cannot serve anyone who appears to be intoxicated.

I have never heard of an airline carding anyone for a drink before. Just act natural and order a drink - see what happens. Worst case is you don't get served. The stewardesses are simply trying to serve everyone as quickly as they can and less interested in worrying about underage drinkers.

Call the airline. I believe that it is dictated by the "from" country, until you reach international waters. DON'T bring your own. If you get pulled for a random check, they will open the bottles. No plane ride for you at that point, if you are under 21.

My son changed into refused alcohol on a flight to Canada even as he changed into 18. The steward reported it was19 years in Canada and the interior of sight age restriction utilized because the airplane changed into an Air Canada flight. He defined that this aviation rule applies to all flights. So, if it truly is a uk service, that is going to likely be 18, or a US service that is going to likely be 21 or a Canadian service that is going to likely be 19. I assume if the airplane is a UAE service that is going to likely be 21.

In Amsterdam is a broad spectral range of attractions for recreational and national sightseeing. They range between fascinating old structures, just like the Oude Kerk, to oddities like the Hash

I dont think that they let you drink over U.S. territory, but its been awhile since ive had to worry bout it, if i were you, id just bring your own when the airlines allow liquids back on, it will be cheaper since the booze isnt free anymore on lots of flights.
