That is correct for most states, including Illinois.
As long as it is the adult giving you the beverage, it is fine.

That is correct. In most states(including Illinois) it's legal if a parent gives you alcohol and you are in a private residence(not necessarily your own).

It's not legal, however, for a restaurant of bar to sell you alcohol, even with a parent.

See this for more information:

Cupcakesandrayzerblades, the Federal government doesn't have authority to pass laws like that. They threatened the states with budget cuts if they didn't impose a 21-age limit. It was up to the states to make the specific exceptions.

Well, technically, it's still against the law, but there's not a whole lot of likelihood of you being arrested.

You never know, though. Parents have even been arrested for letting their teens throw a party where alcohol was involved.

I'm not sure about Illinois specifically, but that is true in the majority of states.

I don't live in Illinois nor do I know to much about it. But I do know that underage drinking is against the Federal Law.
So I'm pretty sure the federal law applies to Illinois too.
