That was very clear.

Because of the strict enforcement of our drinking laws and because we have to wait so much longer than every other country in the world, people go a little nuts with the alcohol here. I lived overseas where it was 18, but it was also relaxed as it is in your country. I started drinking at 15/16...had a bit of fun with it, and then was done with binging by 18/19. I still have those nights where I get totally sloshed, but it isn't like a lot of people here who actually develop problems with it because of the fascination given to it. Our drinking laws actually hurt us a lot more than they help us.

I think it's fascinating that someone can be 18 and legally allowed to kill someone by joining the army, but they can't drink a beer.
