Direct answer: There is no widespread or official move to raise the drinking age globally as of now in most major jurisdictions, and any specific claims should be treated as unverified unless sourced from official government announcements. In the United States, the legal drinking age remains 21 under the National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984. In several other countries, age limits vary, with many places set at 18 or 19, and a few enforcing higher thresholds for certain beverages or contexts. If you have a particular country or region in mind, specify it and the timeframe, and the most reliable, up-to- date answer can be provided.
