    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.)
