Yes, but back then we could drink at 18, when we could also vote (which I did), and join the military (which I did). I understand the problem with binge social drinking and alcohol abuse, but the age should be reset to 18, else take their vote away and bar them from the military or draft until 21. Either they are adult citizens or not.
That’s how I see it too. They are adults or they are not. If they are....and they can vote and get married and be held to a contract and be drafted into the military....so I’d say 18 year olds are considered adults, then how can it be legal to discriminate against them by denying them the same right to drink that other adults have?
Seems like an obvious case of age discrimination to me and thus a 14th amendment violation.
