I believe that is only true in Wisconsin.
If I'm not mistaken, it is the law in Louisiana, too. I looked it up a few months ago at New Years when my mom and I wanted to get a bottle of champagne. (I was two weeks shy of 21 at the time.)

And no, I don't think that an underage person has any Christian right to consume alcohol. I agree 100% with Gabriel; it's only okay if you would be sinning not to break the law.
