It is a time of fear in the face of freedom, a time for the widening of previous roads and the opening of new paths, a time of an emptying country and swelling cities, yet a time when these paths are mined by knowing algorithms of the all-seeing eye. It is the time of the warrior's peace and the miser's charity, when the planting of a seed is an act of conscientious objection.

I agree heartily. If you can be drafted, you should be able to order a beer.

there should be nothing held back beyond the age of majority. i don’t really care whether it’s draftable at 21 or drunkable at 18, but they should match.
however, it seems a weakish platform plank.
(and, to echo my comment from a related thread moments ago, we need more and better education re: the effects of alcohol. we already get some of this, but we’d need more.)
