I never said there are national laws on alcohol. There is, however, some uniformity. Every state in the union regulates the public possession of alcohol by minors.None of that is true, nationally. There ARE no national drinking laws.
Nothing in here contradicts anything I wrote. Also note that in the cases you describe, the minor may not be legally in possession of the alcohol. The parent providing the alcohol may be considered to be in possession. In other cases, such as for employees of a restaurant, it may be the employer who is considered to be in possession of the alcohol, not the under-aged server.State by state it depends. Some states allow underage drinking in the home with parents, some don't. And everything in between. A few states allow parents to give their kids alcohol at restaurants.
