Here’s and easy fix. If your 18 and carry an Active Duty, Reserve, or National Guard ID card, (that you have earned by completing the required training) your legal. Otherwise, wait till your 21.

That would make the most sense, especially if people are going to use that argument. Otherwise, I don't want a bunch of 18 old neo-hippy college students drinking!

Then take away all other adult rights until your 21. You can't marry, go to an adult prison or vote until they're 21. Let's keep our young people infants as long as possible.

Sorry about the light sarcasm. It's not directed at you. I'm just frustrated at the way this society treats our young men and women like children for *way* too long, then pouts when they act like children for way too long.

We're the only country with this Puritanical attitude toward alcohol with the exception of the Muslim countries. Doesn't that tell you something?
