re: Ronald Reagan decided 33 years ago that 18-year-olds can't buy a beer

don’t want them drunk when they’re getting ready to light up their high school do you?

I don't recall a mass shooting at a high school before they changed the drinking age...I think we found the problem.

Personally, I'd be on board with raising the voting age to 21. At age 18, you're either still in high school, or a freshman in college. Kids these age don't have a clue about politics or what's important. They're either voting for whomever their parents say, or they'll just go opposite of their parents if still in their rebel stage.

So 21 to drink
21 to vote

You sticking with 18 for the rest?
Military
Marriage
Firearms

Seems logical. Lmao.

I’m not sure how it works now because I’m way past that, but there was a time when a patron was required to be 21 get into a gentleman’s club that served alcohol, but the dancers only had to be 18.

Most ridiculous and hypocritical shite ever.

It’s interesting how people pick and choose what constitutes adulthood and easily bend.

This was one of the worst things Reagan ever did because it was a complete departure from his general support for federalism. A dreadful federal overreach that was unfortunately upheld by the Supreme Court.

Notice that I did not say a thing about the drinking age but neither should a federal government of "limited powers."

It kept a lot of kids from drinking in a bar.

And forced them into cars, riding around drinking the whole time. Instead people driving a mile or two from the bar to their house while drunk people spent HOURS riding around drunk.

Then why do we let them vote? Drive?

Call me crazy but I think you should have to pass a competency test to be allowed to vote and re-test when renewing your driver's license as well.

what about the unintended consequences...binge drinking?

Regarding drinking and driving:

A lot of people are poor decision makers even when they're stone-sober. Drinking doesn't improve that.

It's the same thing as usual. The competent, normal people suffer because some idiot can barely function under the best of circumstances.
