    “He’s a guy you can have drinks with”… Uh no? He’s 18. You cannot have drinks with him unless your a piece of tra… Well that guy can, but that’s more like peer pressuring someone you really out age

      I was very confused by your comment until I googled the drinking age in the US, and found it’s 21. I guess I assumed it was 18 like most countries

        You are responsible enough for your own decisions at 18 that you can join the military and die for your country, but you can’t buy a drink for another 3 years.

          That’s because in the 1980s when we looked into drunk driving deaths we found most involved 16-21 year olds. The nations that have better public transport or are more densely populated dont have these issues.
