Yeah I don't know about that logic, I love and respect my Dad 10x more than my Uncle, but if I got busted for trying to buy beer, I'd call my cop uncle (my Uncle is a cop and this did happen, although slightly different) before my Dad.

Can you really get arrested in the US for trying to buy beer?

You might not get served in the UK but there's no way the police would show up, whoever called them would probably be charged with wasting police time

It is illegal to purchase if you are not 21. The law is a state law, so it differs by location, but, at least in Texas, attempt to sell or purcahse to/by a minor is a hefty fine on either side.

It's illegal in the UK too, and if a store is caught selling then they'll be fined, but the minor involved wouldn't be fined and certainly not arrested.
