Since the discussion was regargding the legal age of drinking, it would appear to be 21 for the majority of the States.
I say majority; because I'm not up on all the States and some of them may be slightly lower.

No, no, what IS legal age?

Okay, I'll answer for you: The age where upon one is considered an adult.

The reason for this, is because, once someone is considered legally an adult, there should be no restrictions upon them regarding age.

If you define legal age as 18, then 18-year-olds should be allowed to drink, escort minors to rated-R films, etc... If you define it as 21, then 18-year-olds should not be allowed to be drafted, smoke, buy porn, go to strip clubs, drink, escort minors, or anything else adult related.

If you've never seen the studies done; that show the affect that alcohol has on those under 21, then there's no sense in even having the discussion.

But since you're now complaining, just to complain, whine away.

I don't know why, but I forgot to mention voting in my list of things 18-year-olds should not be allowed to do, but for the 26th Amendment. And I reject the brain studies that have been done as being more important than the principle of liberty. The reason being is that we're dealing with adults, who are capable of taking the dangers of alcohol into consideration. I'm not advocating letting 14-year-olds drink. Hell, teenagers were getting trashed every day at the time this country was founded, consuming an average of 3 gallons per year, compared with the paltry 1 gallon consumed by todays pussies.

I'm also the last person you'd expect to accuse of whining, considering that I chose not to engage in underage drinking, and waited until I was 21 before I started (excluding the obvious small glass of wine or champagne). Technically, I was at a convention hosted at my college, and a guy arranged for a local establishment to serve drinks where it was understood IDs wouldn't be checked, and so I was served a beer 9 days before my 21st birthday, but for all intents and purposes, I waited until I was 21.

Oh don't I know it, down here it was almost family culture to get kids drinking in the early teens.
I bartended at 17 in a nightclub which was cool, I hadn't yet aquired a taste for drinking yet.

No... they are all 21... the federal government threatened to hold all funds for highways/transportation to any state that refused to discriminate against adults aged 18-20

LMAO.... alcohol has the same chance of effecting a person age 30 in a bad way as it does an 18 year old. Those studies are a prime example of tweaking data to tell you what you want it to.

While it can be argued that 18 year olds aren't as mature as a 21 year old (on average), the same argument could be made that 21 year olds aren't as mature as 30 year olds.

What makes it even dumber is that 18-20 year olds (not to mention the younger teens) do not have any problem obtaining alcohol. So essentially what the prohibition and discrimination is doing is forcing the 18-20 year olds to go places where there is no supervision or to break the law via a fake ID in order to drink.

At a bar... the bartender can cut someone off. The doorman can suggest a cab. You are also not going to tend to see keg stands or beer bongs in a bar.

Bottom line, there is NO way to justify the discrimination. NONE. A person CANNOT be both a minor and an adult. The legal system needs to choose one or the other.

LIke I said, there's no sense in having the discussion; because your argument is all about feelings and hasn't a thing to do with common sense.
