Fix this double standard already.
The current laws are just a joke. Everyone finds a way to drink anyway so lets just make it legal at 18.
Totally agree. You are an adult at 18. Treat people like adults.
im sick of people treating 18 year olds like babies. if i can be trusted with a rifle i can be trusted with a glass of wine.
Finally someone said it. It is hypocritical to send kids to war but not let them have a drink when they get back.

If I can vote and join the army I should be able to buy a beer. Makes no sense.
