its not considered acceptable for people to do things such as Gamble or drink in most societies untill a little more "wisdom" is gained.

Because it's all fun and games under 21 and that's when you should get yourself in debt, lose a limb in the army, vote for the wrong guy, get shot by someone your age and get hooked on porn. Once you hit 21, it's time to drink your sorrows away and try to win the lottery to pay your bills. cheers

The legal age used to 18 but the raised it. It would be political suicide for someone to suggest LOWERING the drinking age. I think most of American agrees with you, but the ones with the loudest voices don't.

Where I'm from (Indiana) you can't drink until your 21, but you can play the lottery when you're 18.

you are supposed to drink responsibly at home until 21, at which time you get the key to the city.
that lotto thing is just stupid, there's no age restriction here.

If you have to ask then you're not mature enough no matter what your age. Wait until you have children, then you'll understand.
