Buying booze at 21 has nothing to do with receiving the death penalty at 18 for heinously murdering someone
Disagree.
If you're considered an adult, then you should be treated like an adult.
If you can be sentenced to death at 18, you should be able to buy alcohol and cigarettes at 18.
I mean...you're considered an adult who's responsible for their actions, right?
I don't care which law you change, but make the drinking/smoking age 18, or the age to receive the death penalty 21.
There aren't different degrees of adulthood.

Murderers are not responsible people—there is no logic to your argument. Further, 18 year olds whose brains are not fully developed and who lack experience should not be given free rein to access booze and drive 4,000 lb vehicles on our highways. They lack judgment and often act out of impulse.
Will they still do it? Sure, but it prevents a significant number of events from ever occurring.

30 years old should be adulthood in 2023, IMO, across the board. Maybe carve out exemptions for property owners and married parents.
