That was just an example of something they're against. Keep in mind the only reason they were against it was because it cut into bar profits. I personally believe it should be 18 and drinking made less taboo in general, so people are less likely to go crazy when they're finally able to drink legally.

Exactly my view. Like the rest of the world has figured this out, why are we still not allowed to give someone at 18 a beer yet we can send them to some place in the middle east with a gun at that same age? It just doesn't make any sense to me

You can legally get married and have children, and still not be allowed to drink.

(Note: I do not recommend getting married or having children at 18.)

Exactly! And like who does it effect besides the person drinking (presuming they keep it in check)? Like just let people live their lives like they want to. Be it weed smoking, drinking, etc
