      Oh yeah that’s right. I always forget that’s a thing. That still seems so bizarre to me.

        In the states, you can fight and die for your country, or shoot a porno flick, 3 years before your allowed to drink a beer lol.

        That doesn’t seem bizarre to you?

        That people can drink when they’re considered adults? Or that america sends them to war or to take on a mortgage before they may have a beer out of some puritanical prudishness?

          Not a puritan prude, but children shouldn’t drink alcohol. I don’t think that’s really that hot of a take. There’s a lot of science behind the damage alcohol causes to developing bodies, but hang onto them pearls, I guess.

            Im not in disagreement, just saying if someone is considered old and implicitly wise enough to grasp what joining the military or taking on decades of debt really means, they most certainly are old enough to drink alcohol as they see fit.
