Hey Sup Forums, riddle me this

I am allowed to be enlisted/drafted/conscripted into the US military at 18 years old, but not old enough to excercise my right to drink until im 21.

Anyone care to back up the logic behind this?

fuck off plebe

you can buy at 18 from PX once you're in

There is no logic; just good-ol stupidity.

Service members can drink on base.
Riddle me this, why do we let 12 years olds here?

the US doesnt like alcohol in high schools, even though restricting the purchase doesn't keep it out

Laws created by assholes.
Now shut up and join the Navy.

you can drink on base

you can in WI

...

19 in Canada bitches
16 in Quebec
not that it matters

In the UK you can have sex at 16 but can't watch porn until 18. I figure you have to have sex with your eyes closed for two years.

because you are stupid and can't take care of yourself

you think you can, you think everyone else is stupid, but you are the stupid one

Damn right

nanny state

Don't want those bodybags to come home stinking of gin

>exercise my right to drink
>right to drink
No such thing.
Drinking a beverage of your choice is a liberty, not a right. Learn the difference.

18-20 year olds are stupid enough without adding booze to the situation.

There is no logic behind it. These laws are arbitrary, why is someone who's 20 yrs+364 days old unable to drink but 24hrs later it's fine?

everyone is stupid enough without adding booze to the situation
let's ban it

Hey but if you record yourself having sex at 16 you're now an evil child sex trafficking pervert who has to sign the SOR and has no hope of ever getting a decent career in your life. Justice!

It's a liberty to purchase, it's a right to consume in your own body.

Its an unenforceable law, its like the speed limit. Its set at 80 because they know everyone will go 10 over anyways. So they set it at 21, so people dont drink until their 14-18. if they set it at 14 then 12 year olds would start.

drinking age was 18 when I was a kid. Some cuck had to go fuck it up.

They figure its harmless because no cop is going to pursue chrages against underage drinkers in their house. Its only to punish the dangerous or stupid ones who bring a bottle of jack to school like a street rat tard.

I remember reading about a kid, 14 or something, had a picture of themselves on their phone (naked obviously) and they were actually convicted of creating and distributing indecent images of children.

Back in vietnam time, they brought the number down to 18 for that reason.

So when Trump sends us to invade China, you'll probably get to drink. Congrats.

Where would we be if we didn't have the government to enforce morality for us?

>unenforceable law, its like the speed limit.
You fucking what

yes pls, I'd love to get a job as a 20s era prohibition agent

/thread

cops wont ticket you in ALL OF CANADA for going 10 over. Why? because everyone in my entire city goes 10 over.

Go ask the jesusfags

One asshole cop in my city actually tried this and traffic court to contest tickets got backed up for so many years they just cleared people of the charges.

because everyone who's under 21 cares about this law. once you turn 21, you don't give a shit about it. "fuck em', make them wait"

its fucking stupid

you have to be 21 to buy cigarettes in CA and maybe hawaii too now as well

If you are such a pussy that you are about the drinking laws you shouldnt be drinking anyways losers.

care*

mfw

if you can't obey the law you're obviously not mature enough to drink

im only 20 but i drink in the US, they dont card me or anything

Satan trips confirm

>set at 80

isnt it like 65 almost everywhere in the USA max?!

makes me madd ugh

Im in canada we use kilometers retard.

You're an idiot.

depends on the state. theres one highway by me that is 80 and the others here are 65-75 depending on how much traffic they have

18 in alberta buddy

Not true.

Mate come to NZ, age of consent is 16 and you're able to drink and buy at 18

Ur saying I can fuck underage hotties?

Cuz you're in the states...

Booze is bad for you anyway

Not true

Yup, because you in America son, the rest of the world laughs at your drinking laws!

They aren't underage
