Federal law matches Nevada Law: 21 to purchase alcohol and 18 to serve alcohol (such as a waiter/ess in a restaurant). The alcohol control board in Nevada is extremely tough with liquor laws and a vendor, merchant or establishment found to provide alcohol to someone under 21 could lose its liquor license and be subject to thousands of dollars in fines. For a bar, restaurant or casino, this would be devistating! * States establish laws concerning the sale and consumption of all alchoholic beverages. In Nevada as all US states you must be 21 to buy or serve alchoholic beverages. Federal Laws concerning the issue only applies to Native American and federal lands (National parks, game preserves, etc.), where buying, selling, and consumption of alchohol is not permitted regardless of age.

It is illegal, unless you are the parent or guardian over 21. NRS 202.020

If the consumption is in excess and the minor is under 18, they may fall under the purview of NRS 432b i.e. Child Neglect.

It is illegal for a minor to be supplied with alcohol unless it is by a parent or legal guardian and it is to be drunk at a private gathering.

Why is it against the law for minors to drink alcohol?

Laws are intended to protect the citizens of a country as well as promote health. One of the reasons for prohibiting drinking by minors is that this substance brings havoc to the cells of growing humans. For adults though it is different. A little alcohol is needed by the body. Notice however that even adults are penalized for driving under the influence--which is a manifestation of the state's intention to protect its citizens.
