The two serve the same function in society?

No, Rudey, she's saying that the teens that go to college and are not responsible enough yet to handle alcohol/underage drinking are the same age/mental capacity as those who are considered old enough to enlist in the armed forces. If you're not considered mature enough to handle alcohol, how are you considered mature enough to handle a gun in armed combat?? Plus, her comment was in response to the article about 18-year old brains not being mature enough to make responsible decsions, and then she posted the part of the article about drinking.
