You support permitting a 14 year old to buy alcohol just like she buys ice cream.

Legally, it is none of the Fed's business, it is a State, local and/or parental matter as the case may be. If it does not break any State or local laws and is OK with the parents/guardian, I have no problem. However, the 14 year old will be held accountable and responsible for their actions, alcohol or no alcohol. If you want to change the law in your State or locality, as long as it passes Constitutional muster) work within the system.

If a girl is old enough to get an abortion without her parent’s consent, then why ought she seek parental consent to purchase alcohol?
