Americans become adults at age 18 and at that time have the right to marry, adopt children, serve on juries, enter into binding legal contracts, operate businesses, employ others, go to prison, be executed, obtain abortions, engage in legal games of chance (gamble), hunt with deadly weapons, fly airplanes, drive automobiles and other vehicles, purchase (or perform in) erotica or pornography, vote, and risk their lives by serving in the United States military. However, they can't legally enjoy a drink. The 21-year-old drinking age is a denial of the legal age of adulthood, which actually promotes a lack of respect for the law, just as prohibition did in the past. It's time to make the 18-year-old an adult, with all the rights, privileges and yes, responsibilities that go along with it!
