So, by your raw reasoning, lowering the drinking age to 12 would also get your support, since it reduces the effect of "nanny statism" on yet more of our populace?
Not saying I disagree with the proposed AK law, but please first think through the reasoning you use to arrive at the conclusion. Some laws are GOOD, and work to preserve and maintain our free American way of life.
That ended decades ago.
I can't speak for bassmaner, but such a proposal would get my support. A 12 year old is under the supervision of his parents and I would expect the parents to limit his activities accordingly. The state should stop encroaching into areas where it's not needed.
My county has a curfew for kids, and I wish I could come up with a good reason for my kids to break it, just on principle. And if I want to let my 12-year-old have wine with dinner, so long as I keep it in moderation, that is no business of the state.
