Laura's initial blog about how the US government tries to manage extraterritorialty in this aspect and just wanted to add what another idea. The idea of extraterritoriality is ultimately linked to foreign US military bases and believe it or not, it is also linked to the drinking age.
"The minimum drinking age on a DoD installation located outside the United States shall be 18 years of age. Higher minimum drinking age will be based on international treaties and agreements and on the local situation as determined by the local installation commander.” (Source)
Which means that someone who is underage in the U.S. and not allowed to drink, would be allowed to consume alholic beverages while serving abroad...
P.S.: By the way, the drinking age in some countries is 0 years!!! (World Drinking Ages)
