Buy cigarettes - 18
Buy alcohol - most states 21
Get into clubs - depending upon the state, most will allow 18 year olds in, but not serve them alcohol. Some only allow 21 year olds in to aleviate them in any responsibility of underaged drinking (supposedly).
I believe a government issued id - from any country - will do, but you will need some documentation from this country to acutally verify identity. That you can use as well. But while in this country, you will have to follow the laws of this country, meaning that if you are under the legal age for this country, they will not serve you, regardless of if you can drink legally in your country or not.

Cigarettes: 18yrs old
Alcohol: 21 years old, however if with a parent there are some states such as South Dakota that you are allowed to consume
Night Clubs: Usually 21 unless otherwise specified.
Foreign identification: Passport would work just fine

18 for cigarettes, 21 to drink and the nite clubs have their own rules but they are usually a minimum of 18 and typically 21. Yes, they take all foreign ID's normally.

For cigarettes, the legal age is 18, i believe. For alcohol and to enter night clubs where alcohol is being served, the legal age is 21.

cigarettes is 18. alcohol is 21. night clubs can be either 18, 21, or both (21 to drink though). they even have some for under 18. you can use a foreign identification, but you might need your passport to go along. you still gotta be 21 though

Cigarettes, 18yrs. Alcohol is 21yrs. To enter a nite club will depend on the state, Some allow "underage" to enter clubs with a stamp or bracelette showing they are not to be served. Foreign IDs I would have no idea.

The criminal ingesting age interior america of a isn't 21 - it truly is the criminal minimum purchase and public possession age. In maximum states there's no minimum age for ingesting in deepest. As regards the reason in the back of the criminal purchase decrease, positioned that right down to the stupidity individuals legislators and the stress from neo-prohibitionists. interior the united kingdom, by the way, the minimum ingesting age isn't 18 - that is 5. The minimum ingesting age in public is 16 for those ingesting beer or wine with a meal.

18 for cigarettes, 21 for alcohol and most nightclubs. There are nightclubs taht don't serve alcohol that you can get into being under 21, but what's the fun in that?
As far as identification, you being from a different country is a problem. you will need at least two forms of picture identification, preferably one being your passport.

18 Years old for cigarettes, 21 years old for alcohol (bars). You should be able to use foreign ID without much trouble if that's what you have.
