>>Only 18... sigh... Congrats, you are now military and voter eligible but can't legally consume adult beverages in most States. :)

>Just out of curiosity, I'm not a big advocate of alcohol consumption, :-) but doesn't it seem contradictory that it's acceptable to send a young man into battle possibly to die, but not give the privilege of drinking. Or conversely, if he is too young to drink, is he too young to go into battle? Until the voting age was moved down to 18, it seemed the same with it.


I assume that this law was based on extensive research that showed 18-20 year old intoxicated drivers are a significantly greater threat to society to 21+ years old intoxicated drivers.

Of course, I could be wrong about that...
