"but most people would look down on serving alcohol to underage recruits."

I never saw any poll taken that said that 20 year old army combat veteran sergeants shouldn't be able to legally drink a beer. Do you have a source for "most people"? If they've risked their lives, been wounded fighting for our country, they ought to be able to drink beer.

I agree with you, and no, I don't have a source. My point is just that some acts of civil disobedience are going to be more palatable to the public than others, and libertarians should choose those with the "biggest bang for the buck". My feeling is that a much larger portion of the public opposes underage drinking than supports cosmetology licensing requirements.

If under-21 drinking is only a misdemeanor, How hard should it be to get a dozen sergeants (and non-sergeants) for a "civil disobedience" direct action protest? ...in Kentucky!! I can see the district attorney spending time on just ONE underage military veteran, but not more than three.

Hell, bring in the shot glasses. A little tequila at this table...the whiskey at that table. Why just beer... Let the Libertarians try That for "maximum exposure."
