Bringing Alcohol back into America from Canada?


I'm 19 so I can drink in canada. However can I bring alcohol into america? According to the customs website I can bring back $200 of alcohol/tobacco/perfume into the country without paying a duty on it.

I know that at age 18 in America, i can HANDLE alcohol but not consume it. So since I'm only handling it, can i bring it into America under my $200 duty free allowance?

Yes you can bring it back in. You have to put the alcohol in your checked bag, and they don't check to make sure the bag belongs to someone over 21. Customs usually isn't concerned unless you are carrying contraband.
