I asked a priest on Reddit about underage drinking if it’s a mortal sin and I was just wandering if you all agree on this(and yes i know I should have asked my local priest)
“ I don’t think so, as it would have to be a grave matter for it to be a sin. (Assuming that the drinking age law is just which there is room for debate).
(Many laws are nothing more than other peoples opinions of how you should live your life.
Not saying the drinking age law is or is not just. In fact, objectively it is better for the brain for you to wait to start drinking (and gambling to btw) until your brain if fully developed which is around age 25.
Though you are probably better off not doing either of those things if you can help it. IMO.
The drinking age law is not a grave matter to my knowledge and just breaking a law is not a grave matter.
However, please note that getting drunk (at any age) IS a sin and grave matter as you have a moral responsibility to be in control of yourself to the best of your ability at all times.”
