[QUOTE=MareloboMex;7350862]Taking this thread a little off topic. Every 18,19, and 20 year old I meet drink plenty of alcohol including underage girls in the clubs. This law makes no sense to me. You are either an adult or you are not. How you can enter into legal binding contracts, work a job, join the military and give sexual consent, but you can't have a beer make no sense to me.
While other countries have various drinking ages, I have never travelled abroad and seen a drinking age enforced or anyone carded. If you want to buy drink you do. That sounds like freedom and capitalism to me.
In my humble opinion we should repeal the drinking age and let people over 18 do what they want.

You'll never see the drinking age go down, especially with the direction the country is taking merging religion and politics.
Not trying to start a politics argument, just stating where we're at.
