Just because a bunch of politicians passed a law back in the 70s doesn’t mean that it was wise or needed.
I drank on base with my comrades, all under 21. Somehow, our brains developed normally and we’re not all in jail. Somehow. Gee I wonder what it was. Good thing the pols passed a law! Oh wait…
Also, the mean age in WW2 was so high because of the draft and volunteerism of older folks and guess what? The drinking age on bases back then was usually 18, as the old Army wasn’t full of puritans and a PC ridden officer corp more concerned with their precious evaluation reports than their troops having a bit of fun. How come no one is concerned with the unintended consequence in bnge drinking deaths caused by the current silly law?
