Drinking = 18
Cigarettes = 19
Voting = 18 (it's a basic right as an adult Squeeb - informed or not)
Driving = 19

etc. I think about 18, 19 most young adults are capable of restraining themselves or abiding the law (as much as adults do - which is very little). People like to point fingers at the young when they do small, stupid things. When the people pointing their fingers do it everyday.

A man of 40 gets in an accident and injures someone because he was driving irresponsibly and he gets sued/relies on insurance. A man of 20 does the same thing and it sparks debate on whether or not "kids these days etc etc". It pisses me off. being young does not equate irresponsibility. We should make testing and qualifying for licensing and such tighter perhaps, but lowering or raising age seems out of place in society today.
