I believe that is the way it is here in Texas; I'm not positive though.
I am 20 and I tried testing this out by ordering a glass of wine with my meal when I went to dinner with my parents at an Italian restaurant a few weeks ago. The waitress did not even ask for my ID, so either A) she figured I would not try to order a drink if I were underage and with my parents or B) she could tell I was underage, saw that my parents didn't mind, and chose to serve me.
I do think she may have asked for my ID had I been ordering a martini or some other drink from the bar.
