I used to think this for a while, mostly because Ive been in the military since 17 and well its a pain to get alcohol sometimes.
But lately I have realized that there are way too many lowlifes in the military as it is. We shouldnt give them another reason to join even if it would boost recruitment and even if it might straighten some of them out. Luckily, I do not have to work with any of them.
Though, I have always thought that its b/s that I can drive a car, fly a plane, vote, die for my country, etc. but I cant LEGALLY drink. Yes there are a lot of people who will look past this as BigBen931 pointed out. Along with this is the right to gamble, but thats another discussion...
I say just lower the drinking age. It may reduce some of the fun associated with sneaking around trying to obtain alcohol and may even reduce the amount of people drinking just to get drunk.
