Should you become an adult at 18 and be allowed alcohol? Should alcohol be outright banned? Do you agree with the saying if you are old enough to fight and die, you are old enough to drink? Is 21 fine? Would you rather it was 16 like in Europe?

24, neurology is in full development at 21. A beer or glass of wine under parental supervision from age 16 is fine but to buy alcoholic drinks should be 24. Stunting the capacity of the youth from mentally handicapping themselves is a useful function of the state.

Our entire system should be rebalanced around our biology and not because of arbitrary and obtuse impositions.

16 year olds should be the ones doing the parental supervision, not the ones requiring it

Principally I agree but legislation on such issues must consider the realities of mankind's peaks and valleys.

Mankind's zenith is sustainable intergenerational living and wealth generation, not just financial wealth mind you.

Mankind's nadir is well below single parent households with children in daycare.

The laws and their makers must reflect on this unfortunate reality.
