I can't understand the logic of allowing 18 year olds to serve their country and vote, but not be able to legally drink. If you are old enough to be able to determine who our elected officials are and carry a loaded firearm, why aren't you old enough to drink? To further the point, an 18 year old committing a crime is tried as an adult. So if you are considered an adult, why can't you make the decision to drink or not? I hate double standards. To make it worse, the dominate political party in my home state up north is pushing to lower the voting age to 16?
