in the privacy of your own home, no one will know or care. In public, it's not technically a federal law banning minors from drinking... they just withhold money from states if they don't comply.
National Minimum Drinking Age Act
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984 was passed on July 17, 1984 by the United States Congress as a mechanism whereby all states would become thereafter required to legislate and enforce the age of 21 years as a minimum age for purchasing or public possession of alcoholic beverages. Under the Federal Aid Highway Act, a state not enforcing the minimum age would be subjected to a ten percent decrease in its annual federal highway apportionment. [1]
While this act did not outlaw the consumption of alcoholic beverages by those under 21 years of age, some states extended its provisions into an outright ban. However, most states still permit "underage" consumption of alcohol in some circumstances. In some states, no restriction on private consumption is made, while in others, consumption is only allowed in specific locations, in the presence of consenting and supervising family members, and/or during religious occasions.[2][3]

Don't think that just because you are 18 years old, alcohol is good for you... Try to stay away from alcohol as much as you can and you will be healthier and live longer. Good Luck.
