Why not 18?

21 because then you can play blackjac.

in Holland gambling is 18.
drinking is 16.
and driving is 18.

I feel like it fits.

since after 18 you're an adult
people drink anyway.
and driving should come at least two years after legally drinking. (I think we all know why)

I think its a great concept of letting you be able to drink before you drive 1st. That way if you were drunk for your 1st time you probably wouldnt have a car. In America you may be a better driver when at drinking age but that wont matter when you are drunk.

exactly!
Why the whole world doesn't see that I don't know.

driving is way more dangerous then drinking anyway.

I never got why the US drinking age in some states is 21 either. It means I can't drink if I visit.

nitpick .. the drinking age is 21 in all US states.

For age of consent in BC its 14 the perverts.

You can join the army at 16 in the UK? That's crazy. That's even crazier than the U.S.'s drinking age. They wouldn't send you on active duty though, right? You'd just be some military janitor while training or something?

It's silly. I think the drinking age should be closer to 16, but at least 18. In NJ you have to be 19 for tobacco products because "OMGAD HIGHSCHOOLERS CAN SMOKE LEGALLY!?!? FIX IT!"

Two years basic training, so you will fight at an 18 minimum.

again I say "IF I CAN DIE FOR MY COUNTRY I CAN GET FUCKING PLASTERED IN A BAR!" and that also applays to gambling or any other dumbass laws.

You can gamble in LA while under 21. You just can't do it in a casino. Go to a race track and you can bet on horses and play video poker all day long. The reason you can't get into a casino is because they give out free booze. So while you can legally gamble at age 18 you can't legally drink. So instead of risking contribiting to minors, you must be 21 to enter the casinos. Race tracks don't give away alcohol.
