I'm 20 years old and staying in the US for 5 months. Am I allowed to bring alcohol into the United states? I'm staying in New york.

Not sure, I would think not though since you are underage here in the U.S.
well of course you can drink alcohol if you're under 21 in the US
you just can't buy it
doubt they would let you carry the alcohol over the border though
Chance it.

so stupid that u cant drink alc til 21, ancient law is ancient
You have to declare you have alcohol, and being under the legal drinking age in the US, I don't think they would let you keep it. If you DIDN'T declare it and they found it, I think you would be in trouble.

Looks like no,
Edit, ok u can bring some but u need to call some place. I wouldn't even bring any though considering your under 21.
What terrible advice. Do you really think it's smart to suggest trying to smuggle in illegal materials (in this case, it would be illegal for the OP, who is 20, to bring alcohol across the border) in a country where patdowns, body scans, luggage scans, detainments for smaller matters, etc, are commonplace?
Do NOT try to bring alcohol in. It isn't worth it.
Yes, states can choose their own legal drinking age, but what is brought into the country from outside is a matter of federal law, not state law.
I know what you were saying. I just wanted to highlight the section of the post that implied (to somebody skimming posts, rather than reading them in full) that in some states it may not be illegal, therefore if you're traveling to the right state you could probably get away with it.
Not sure about your age requirement, and if you would be granted immunity if the drinking age is lower in your native country or not. Either way I was able to bring back 3 bottles of tequila from mexico in my checked in luggage. You will not be able to have any liquids on you or your carry on luggage though. Good luck
Wrong as well. It is illegal to purchase and have public possession of alcohol if you are under 21. However many states do still allow the private consumption of alcohol if under 21. 19 out of the 50 states have no ban on underage private alcohol consumption and 17 states have family member/location rules in place.
