Buying it yourself is 18, but you can also have beer or wine with a meal in a licensed premises at 16 and 17.

Re: What Happens If Return Test Is Positive
Very likely. Slightly lower probability with a lateral flow test. This five day isolation period is actually quite controversial as some feel it wasn’t based on science anyway. I ended up isolating for a little over 10 days (the previous CDC recommendation) after my recent positive Covid test.
There are CDC guidelines as to the circumstances and manner a doctor csn certify you’ve recovered from an infection. Not sure how that would play out trying to get a certification from a non-US doctor.

I'm sure there are more of these places, you would just need to verify that the airline/CBP would accept it.

Someone mentioned getting travel insurance for the flight in case you are delayed. Which raises the question - what about medical insurance? I have traveled to the UK maybe 10-15 times without ever even thinking of health issues, but with Covid in the air, I would think twice. Being a healthy person, I never even considered the idea I could get sick / need care while visiting, and I may have naively assumed that being a UK citizen entitled me to medical care anyway (which I don't believe is correct). So ... are those people who are now visiting the UK taking out medical insurance, and if so, do they explicitly cover or exclude Covid?

No idea, I don’t think Scotland has it, but I would guess the mid to late 1900’s.
That said I doubt it really matters. I am pretty sure someone found getting a 6 year old drunk would get charged with something else or have their child taken and that a parent feeing a 4 year old yoghurt (which contains alcohol) would not be charged.

Was thinking of making the trip beginning of September, so will wait until end of May and see if the Covid requirements change before making a final decision to go or not.

Re: What Happens If Return Test Is Positive
When you worked, I’m assuming your medical insurance included coverage while abroad? I know mine did, although I never tried to use it. It’s if you become solely dependent on Medicare that it’s an issue, since Medicare doesn’t cover care abroad. (I know that many retirees have both Medicare and lifetime coverage from the former employer, so I guess they’re covered abroad too.)

We just came back from Jamaica. The hotel tests you the day before departure, They email the results, and you upload to the airline. If you are positive, they have a Covid wing you have to quarantine in ( for a price)! Anyway. They offer insurance for $50 each in case you are positive. We both took that of course, but it came back negative. What a racket. Had a great time though, weather was gorgeous.
