The argument to lower the voting age to 18 was; you can serve in the military and you can drink.

Now, years later, they raise the drinking age to 21 but 18yr olds can still serve in the military and vote.

So,you can be responsible enough to serve in the military and vote, but not responsible enough to have a drink.

Sheesh.

My proposal:

Military personnel may consume alcohol at any age, but cannot purchase for off-premises consumption unless 21 or over.

For everyone else the drinking age is 21.
