So you're old enough to die for your country in Iraq or be executed for murder – but you can't have a beer…?

Is it just me or is there something wrong here?

Legal drinking age? Is there a legal drinking age or a limit on who can buy alcohol?

Splitting hairs with complete strangers and nit-picking everybody's posts is what forums are about, isn't it?

Within reason. I'm a one-man campaign for the correct use of the English language (the British version, of course – the King's English – the Real McCoy), it's part of my job, but if I were to correct everyone's language, I would make myself VERY unpopular. You don't want to be labelled a besserwisser, now do you?

I hope it could be found to be within reason. I was not correcting language or splitting hairs, but making a point. The raising of the legal age to purchase alcohol is a response to the tragic loss of life through drunken driving accidents that have been quite reduced through the law.

Seems 18 year olds may well be old enough to volunteer to fight for king and country, but not sensible enough not to drink and drive.

In Louisiana, the legal drinking age is 18. Everywhere else, 21. No, nothing screwed up about it at all.

I've had enough beer to know that it's not to my taste. I'd rather have wine, or something harder.
