I will never understand the 21 drinking age in the US. Its so high its ridiculous....these kids are long past the age where they have the ability to be self-aware, but still they are kept from drinking for some horribly outdated moralistic value. The more you tell these kids not to drink, the faster they they will reach for the bottle.

I dunno about you guys, but my parents weaned me onto alcohol at a fairly early age with drinks here and there. By the time I was 18, i knew how to handle my alcohol responsbly, and didnt go out and get sh*tfaced just because I could.
