One of the biggest problems for under 21s in the States is not being able to go to night clubs and bars to meet people, not having youth clubs and under 21 night clubs that are available in the uk. In the USA you can drive at the age of 16 though so you can visit friends and such.

The biggest social gatherings that occurs in areas that are not cities, in the states are fairs, occasions and sports events.

When you turn over 21 in America there is plenty a social life in the cities but still not much in country and farming areas, new Orleans and Las Vegas are popular party spots in the US with a large array of night clubs, bars and casinos to socialize at.

Living in England I have found it hard to meet people and make friends when visiting America and being the tender age of 19 it means I cant go out and  meet people, but then I do stay in a farming town when I visit America.

American people have many friends but most are met through work, school, friends of friends you get the idea.

I have been to New Orleans also known as "The Big Easy"  and can honestly say I have never been anywhere where everyone is really up for a good time and a laugh, it has to be one of my favorite parts of America the atmosphere is unbelievable.

Las Vegas is also good but a lot of Vegas is about the casinos but still plenty of good night clubs and bars. The same goes for gambling on the age restriction there though as you have to be twenty one although the many of the shows are for all age gaps and suit the kids down to the ground.

You can make friends pretty much anywhere in England, it is a lot better social life for children in Britain they can make friends out side of school simply by attending youth clubs or just walking down there local park, but everything is so close together so transport is not always essential, there is always plenty for kids to do in England.

The nightclubs are always full of friendly people some not always so friendly but the majority are, London is a popular place to go out and party along with Bournemouth, Brighton and even Portsmouth.

Clubbing in the U.K. is, as you might expect, not all that different from clubbing in the U.S.A. or most places else. It still involves people waiting too long in lines (or queues, as they are called here) paying too much for alcohol, listening to music so loud you can’t here the person next to you and trying to not look like you’re too self-conscious to dance.

But there are few things travelers looking for club action should be aware of.  British beer is significantly stronger than American beer. Knocking back a few Carlings will have a much stronger effect (i.e. get you wasted much quicker) that knocking back a few Bud. Which might be just what you’re looking for, but just be careful you don’t make yourself sick or take yourself out of the party too quickly.

Many drinks are served, sometimes in a cocktail and sometimes pre-mixed, with an energy soda named Red Bull (or some knock off thereof.) These drinks taste similar to Mountain Dew (which is all but impossible to find here, by the way.) and do give quite the hyperactive sugar boost. Also, since the drink is extremely caffeine-loaded, it will also thin your blood and make whatever liquor you’re enjoying it with (almost always vodka) hit you much faster and stronger.

If you only go to one club in the UK let it be slinky, the best club I have ever been to, everyone is friendly no trouble at all, the best atmosphere you will ever find in a lifetime.
