Eighteen year olds are also adults for the purposes of being subjected
to capital punishment, or going over to Iraq to get their appendages
blown off, but they aren't allowed to consume beer.


That has been a subject debated for decades. Unfortunately, too many 18 year
olds do not have the sensibility to safely consume alcohol in moderation.
At 21, some do not either, nor will they at 41 or 51 or 71.
