I like alcohol. One of the think I find most interesting about alcohol is all the etiquette that surrounds it.
The US age restriction on it is dumb. Maybe I'm off base here but it seems to me that the countries with more lenient rules about it have less alcohol-related problems. It's also kind of crazy that we're willing to grant a 16 year old the right to drive a car and are willing to trust an 18 year old enough to let them vote and handle heavy artillery if they join the military, but we can't trust them with beer.
