Justin Bieber may be a youngster here in the states, but in South Africa he’s of legal drinking age…and he’s just fine with that.

The 19-year old “Believe” singer posted a photo of himself on Instagram earlier this week while he was enjoying a frosty beer with a friend, and the pic is now making its way around the web as fans get hold of it.

Bieber has spoken about his behavior being dissected by the media before, saying, “I’m young and I make mistakes. That’s part of growing up. I mess up sometimes. It’s part of growing up. I’m young and I want to have fun. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.”
