When you kist a drinking age for Pakistan all I can do is laugh. The 97% Muslim country outlawe liuquor some time ago unless you get a permit from the government which is allowed if you are a foreigner or a Christian.

Blather on. Nothing faux about my conservatism you and I just disagree about a specific drinking age. That is all.

You are so predictable. Why do you latch on to this peripheral issue? I provided you the list of countries where 21 is the legal drinking age. FYI: I have been to Pakistan about half dozen times and had a drink in the hotel. They don't check to see whether you are Christian or Muslim.

You disagree because you personally think that your views should predominate. For me, the legal drinking age is just another example of the federal government forcing the states to cave in to a central diktat. I used the example of NY, which had 18 as the legal age for over 50 years. Personally, I saw no great problem with it nor in the many countries I have lived in over the 25 years of my adult life of living abroad. And you seem to gloss over the many examples of how we treat 18 year olds as adults whether it is in the military, the courts, or the ballot box. There is a profound logical inconsistency that you seem to be missing.
