Yah, but the inconvenience of it. Sneaking around, having someone else buy it for you, plotting house parties while parents are away, NOT BEING ABLE TO DRINK IN A BAR, etc. If drinking & partying is a big determinant of the age you pick then over 21 is critical.

One. Lying on your back with a bottle in your mouth. Who could ask for more?

I would not ask for anything else.

Do you remember being 15, lol?

Generally yes, I do remember that age and bear in mind when my writing says "say 15" that is an approximation and obviously no single age is going to cover everyone. What age should I have written?

Uh, I'm saying that plenty of 15 year olds drink alchohol and have sex.

And that is why What made you think I thought otherwise?

You said that not having access to those things was an unfortunate characteristic of being 15.

You're reading something into my original statement that is not there.

To be clear.

1. At the randomly picked age of 15 many people have not yet had sex. This does in no way mean you don't "have access" to it. It simply means that for the generic person I had in mind sex would be, as of that age, undiscovered to him or her. Comprende?

2. To consume alcohol in the United States of America legally and with far less restriction and much more convenience one must be 21 years of age or more.

Some of us still do that. :beer:
