Drinking isn’t a constitutionally protected right, so it is legal to those under 21 from drinking.

Its not enumerated, but it is as much a right as sleeping is.

I would also state that driving is a right and all this nonsense about it being a privilege is wrong headed.

We should not think of our rights as being a few actions that are named, but rather being everything with a few exceptions.

Amendment 9

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

IOW, the enumerated rights are a floor under our rights, not a ceiling above them.
