Lower the LDA (legal drinking age) to 18.

Created by J.W. on March 06, 2014

If someone is 18 and responsible to buy and use tobacco, then they are responsible enough to legally drink. It is not logical than one must wait 2 years after graduating high school to be "legal". It's also crazy that we have soldiers fighting for our freedom who we say are not "responsible" enough to drink. How appalling. Adults from ages 18-20 are going to drink regardless, so we might as well make it legal to avoid all the trouble involved with "underage drinking" which usually in that age group. There is a reason why most other countries drinking age is much lower than 21, and they have much less alcohol abuse. Let's get wise here and not fool ourselves. Lower the LDA to 18.
