Except, in this case the contract the contestants sign with Survivor
Entertainment Group specifically mentions that the contestants will
abide by California laws where applicable. Anybody know the drinking
age in California - is it 18, 19 or 21?

With all the drunken starlets in Hollywood I can't imagine they have a
legal age of anything greater than 5! :)

Closer to home, the legal age is 19 in Saskatchewan and 18 in Alberta,
Manitoba and Quebec.

I saw one source that mentioned that US military doesn't have a legal
drinking age - with the suggestion that "if you're old enough to die
for your country, you're old enough to drink."
