Oh the legal drinking age here is 21. But legal as in an adult.
And I agree with Disgaeniac. If you can determine the future of the country, fight for the country, be jailed by the country ... then you should be able to celebrate/drown sorrows in liquor in the country. I always though that it made more sense to raise the legal age of everything to 21.
And, on a sort of related note (but will stem up some controversy) I wish they would raise the age of smoking to 21 as well. It would lessen the opportunity for underage kids to have access to them. I always knew someone 18 when I was growing up so being with an adult wasnt ever an issue ... but finding someone 21 willing to do stuff for us like buy liquor (and if they fixed it cigarettes for the people that smoked) was a lot harder to do.
