Any chance the drinking age will get lowered to 18 any time soon?

27. Then they shouldn't be able to decide

to go fight a war on false pretenses until they are 21. Let's be fair here - if they can't fully comprehend the consequences of their actions at 18, then why the hell are they carrying automatic weapons in a foreign country at 18? Maybe if their judgment skills aren't that great at 18, maybe they shouldn't be voting? Right? Let's not cherry pick the rights we think 18 year olds should have because it suits us.

I live in Canada, in a province where the drinking and gambling age is 18 - as it should be. If they were to raise those ages I'd argue they should raise the ages for driving, voting and signing up for the military. Some consistency is required here, IMO. They're either too young for all those things or not to young for all those things.
