That's not a "loophole". It's just the law. The law that's applicable is
the law where you're standing at the time. A person isn't bound by the
drinking age "back home", just like Americans who go to Amsterdam are
free to smoke dope even though it's illegal "back home".
If it were otherwise, the only Americans who could legally gamble in Las
Vegas would be residents of Nevada. After all, if you're visiting from
Alabama, gambling is illegal "back home".
