Let me make myself clear to you, my friend. Allowing a child to drink is folly. Allowing a child to drink while "stupervised" by an adult or with other children is just as dumb. Allowing a child to drink alcohol and have access to an automobile is just plain stupid.
What is the common link in those three statements? We are talking about a child. Children. People too young to know better. And you, you really should know better. I think that you do, but chose instead to take a more liberal populist point of view in an attempt to earn points with like-minded people.
Alcohol is not for children. Or the childish.
What Im saying is thats its ironic to trust a 16 yr old with driving a 2 ton car but not to have a few beers. Because everyone will drink whenever they want anyway, but everyone aint gonna drive a car if they are not allowed,
therefore drinking at 16 and driving at 21 would make more sense if we had to compare the two. 18 for both as in sweden is good imo. your average 16 yr old is way to immature to handle a car. And if you dissagree then they should be mature enough to handle a drink also.
I dont know if I have to add that I dont mean at the same time ofc
to sum it up:
If the goverment think you're mature enough to handle a potentially deadly weapon to Anyone it comes in contact with you should be mature enough to handle a few beers with your friends.
