So totally agree! It still makes no sense to be allowed to vote, sign (and be held accountable by a court of law) contracts, join the military and die for this country and not be able to drink at 18. For everything but drinking, 18 is the age where you are considered an adult. In the dark ages there was drinking at the fraternity houses for parties. It was frowned upon if anyone got sloppy drunk - men or women. Now, because of MIP (minor in possession) there is always a "pre-party" where the underage students go to get blasted before the event. "Social" drinking seems to no longer exists in colleges.
Anyone caught under the influence (alcohol or drugs) and driving needs to suffer the penalty, no matter what the age.
