In all seriousness though, if you don't drink, be thankful and don't start because there are millions of people who want to quit and can't.

Yeah drinking is certainly not a good thing. All strong drinks are not good (alcohol and caffeine). There all little foxes. These are tough to break, especially coffee (for me).

You beat me to it. I have lost a lot of dear friends to date that, although at last parting I had direct that, if we did not see each other again, with the lack of the likelihood of it, to make sure to makes sure they'd cross over to the other side, and then we'll have forever to catch up! One reportedly asked after me, and all sent word of their terminal condition, but I was at a loss for words other than all that I had already offered. Looking back, I find myself begrudging that it is not socially acceptable to gift a dying friend housed in a convalescent facility a good bottle of Diplomatico rum. Why? Of all of them, I can't think of any that wouldn't have been absolutely tickled to receive that!

Going back to the US drinking laws.
Have you all thought about that treating a young adult as a child, he will then continue to be a child for longer?
Meaning, if you tell someone that he can die for their country at 18, vote at 18 but can’t drink until 21, you‘re sort of insulting him and treating him like a baby.
And this mentality is reflected in college campuses. All the kids in colleges here act like crazy because that’s when they feel grown up. But in other areas of the world they do this in high school. The university is sort of the place for more maturity not immaturity.
Anyway, this is more of a rhetorical question because I know the history behind this stupid law and it’s not going to change but I wanted to mention the obvious again.
