Very interesting. I do not know the answer, but I understand the question. It does not make a lot of sense. One that I always wondered about is this...How is it that a man can serve in the military and even go off to war at age 18, but he cannot legally drink a beer? Does not make any sense to me.

Same reason you can get a license to drive at 16 but can't rent a vehicle until you're 25. That's how the regulations shook out.

The 21 drinking age is intended, in part, to keep alcohol out of high schools. It's also based on the observation - as in decades of painful experience - that most 18-year olds outside a structured environment simply do not handle alcohol responsibly.

Good question. Sorry that there is no logical, commonsense answer to it.

Why do we have the biggest pornography industry in the world ...

... and get upset when a corner of Janet Jackson's nipple peaks out of her dress on Superbowl Sunday?

... or maybe it was the entire nipple?

I love my country but sometimes you really want to slap some sense into people.

i've never thought about it, but that doesn't seem right. you can't drink or bet until 21 when you are supposedly going to have a better head about you, but you can choose to show all your goodies at the tender ago of 18 and that is a sound decision???

Haha, thanks for the laugh and I have no clue. Supposedly there is some random state/city that lets people drink at 18. I'm not sure though.

Because girls are lousy actresses when drunk.
