I can understand the government's reasoning for having the discrepancy in the age limits, they say that 18 year olds are just still too immature to be responsible about drinking, which I do agree with for the most part, but it is ridiculous for a person to be considered an adult in every respect, except that they can't order a margarita with their dinner. I was also going to make an example about the military vs. drinking age. It's ludicrous that they consider men and women grown up enough to go into the army, survive through boot camp, be exposed to the kinds of things that they are, and then when they come home on shore leave they can't go out for a beer with their friends. That to me in just plain nuts. I agree that 18 year olds, fresh out of high school, aren't reponsible enough to handle drinking legally. We're not even going to touch on the fact of how many people actually drink underage anyways. I'd like to see legal age on everything be the same, maybe make it age 19.
