You may like the Nanny state. I don't. I grew up when 18 was the legal drinking age.

Let's stop drafting 18 year olds into the military and you might have a point. People who don't go to college must find jobs and take on adult responsibilities. Nothing magic happens when you go from age 20 to 21.

People must take responsibility for their actions. That applies to teenagers and adults--whatever age society decides that happens. How much government control will you accept to feel "secure?"

And the drinking age was 18 for a very short period of time. Some magical as you call it things actually do happen to you as you get closer to the age of twenty five. Your brain is still forming pathways til then,,,but you obviously dont care

And for the record the draft ended in 1973. Part of being an adult is knowing that long range goals are more important than short term fancies. Drinking does not make one an adult but can easily prove one a fool. Don’t cry about getting a job, I’ve worked since I was 14
