The minimum age of taking alcohol in the city of Massachusetts is 21 years of age. Thus, Massachusetts alcohol laws are very specific about this and would be considered illegal for anyone who takes this alcohol under the age of 2 years of age. But there are some provided exceptions of it, one can have alcohol only in the presence of a consenting parent or guardian, another is one can have alcohol with their spouse who is 21 years or older; and third is for adults as a part of their employment ("Massachusetts Alcohol Laws: Learn The Law and Avoid Problems!", 2021).
