drink up again

Duh. We'd actually be best off if there was no 'drinking' age, but rather just the age restriction on purchases (@18). Calling it a legal drinking age implies certain things that aren't really true to begin with and restricts behavior which if properly moderated and monitored by some responsible entity is just fine for most people to partake in (except maybe people with addictive genetics). The net result of the 21 age is a large college population which is unmonitored and unmoderated and consequently drinks to excess (to the detriment of studying and health of course).

Americans are such idiots as a country when it comes to making these protective laws for children. They don't protect anything.
