Q I love the US and am looking at visiting some new states. I was wondering if my sons, aged 18 and 20, would be allowed in bars and restaurants in Memphis, Nashville and Louisiana in the tourist hot spots?

A I love the US too. But America’s alcohol laws are not compatible with a holiday for young adults like your sons if they like a drink.
