The day any American citizen turns 18 years of age, they are able to begin their adult lives. They can get married, buy a car, sign a binding legal contract, purchase and participate in pornography, sue or be sued, and fight and die for their country in the military. Unfortunately, for these "young adults" between the ages of 18 and 20, they are unable to celebrate their marriage with a toast, cannot drink with their fellow soldiers during the hard times of war.
Although the National Minimum Drinking Age Act does not set the age at which Americans can drink, it punishes the states for lowering their drinking ages. I am asking you, the federal government, to repeal this act and let the states take care of their own drinking laws. We all became an adult at 18, so why can't we drink too?
