Somebody needs to fix the typo in the title of that article about drining ages.

Possibly interesting that the most restrictive rules cluster around the desert zones, the more liberal are in the moderately-warm wine-producing areas, and then slightly more restrictive again in the colder grain-alcohol countries. Or I might be reading too much into it.

There isn't a device made that could measure how little I care about this topic.

Ah...the good ole USA. Where you can join the military and murder brown people overseas, but can't get a drink at 18.

There's no problem getting beer overseas, just in the U.S.
It really comes down to the place and time when you grew up. When I was a kid, the drinking age was 21 but, if you could see over the edge of the bar, you could order a beer.

Even Castro is less of a dick about drinking than American politicians.

Yeah, but I heard he won't even let anyone drin.....even if you're 25. Screw that, don't try to control my drining.

Wow, it's illegal in Afghanistan? That's gotta suck for our soldiers who would love a beer. Then, they return to the states after risking their lives, and STILL can't legally purchase alcohol (or even consume it in many states.)

what would be the smoothest way to transition the drining age from 21 to 18
