STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS ALSO MANDATE THAT IT IS PROHIBITED FOR INDIVIDUALS UNDER THE AGE OF 21 TO DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. The legal age for drinking alcohol is 21. Our over 21 attendees are allowed to consume alcohol outside of the convention area in a responsible, civilized manner. We require that our under 21 attendees refrain from drinking at our convention.

Anime Boston and the NEAS prohibit the consumption of alcohol in public areas in use by the convention. Follow all convention center and hotel guidelines regarding consumption of alcohol in shared public areas.

If convention staff suspects an attendee under the age of 21 to be drinking or intoxicated, a staff member will contact the proper authorities. Anime Boston and the New England Anime Society DO NOT authorize, endorse, or condone underage drinking under any circumstances. We will follow all local, state, and federal guidelines regarding underage drinking.
