18 is the legal age to enter the Army and to vote, so if we are given the privilege to do this then we should be given the privilege to drink alcohol at that age. Being this is a federal, legal issue, it is up to most people to revise this law to their State senators. Congress can help.
Smoking is more dangerous than drinking but in Missouri, you only have to be 18 to smoke. Please let us have our privileges as young adults to drink both independently and responsibly.
