Minor brain damage in stunting frontal lobe growth (stops growing between ages of 19-21), but one drink would have a negligible effect. Your college might have some serious penalties (others might not care). As for health, as long as you don’t do a lot of heavy drinking, you’ll be okay. Children used to drink beer because the water was so bad, and many (Western) countries have lower or no drinking age (though kids younger than a certain age would likely be laughed out of the bar). Look at the penalties in your state. But if it’s a big party where a ton of underage drinking is going on, be wary of cops showing up. But anyway, yeah, varies by college. I wouldn’t do it, for health and legal reasons, but you’ll probably be okay in moderation.
