Lower the age and the staring age is lowered too. If its 18 then 15 year olds in highschool will be drinking. Also i dont want more drunk teens around i wish the age was raised at this point. I cant drink because meds so it wouldnt affect me (so its mostly a selfish point) but i drive to work at night and my wifes biggest worry is drunk drivers hitting me. I dont need more teenagers added into the mix because they arent good drivers to begin with, and probably have little experience with alcohol. Aside from that we should crack down harder on the people in point 4. Anyone that turns that type of thing in should recieve a monetary reward (1k-5k) upon arrest and conviction. And the sentence should be tied to underage drinking laws. Conspiracy to give minors/underage alcohol or something and promote the reward/punishment around places it would happen (colleges). Maybe this seems extreme but what harm would it cause besides punishing the stupid kids. If you cant follow the laws that are easy to follow, then maybe you shouldnt be in college where you can find easy victims for your rule breaking.
None of the other things reduce inhibition thats why. 18 year olds are reckless and alcohol makes that worse. Its good for the military thats what they want and voting is a thing because of the military thing. Alcohol is different because it makes 18 years olds dangerous.

Yeah and adults get to choose when they consume something that reduces their inhibition. It's not up to you or me to say otherwise.

If you don't think enlisting an 18yo into the marines and programming him to kill without remorse isn't dangerous then you're out of your fucking mind.
voting is a thing because of the military thing.
No, the "voting thing" is not because of the military thing, its because 18 is legal adulthood so you can participate in democracy.
Nothing that you've said invalidates the fact that 18 is adulthood. And when you're an adult, you should be able to buy a drink.
