It's just weird to me how we treat grown men and women like they are children.
Hell, a century ago a 14 year old was pretty much a man. These days? A 34 year old is likely still living with his parents.
If you are of legal age...old enough to vote, sign legal documents, go die in war...then the govt. shouldn't be telling you that you can't have a drink, or anything else that any other legal adult can do.
Could you imagine the law suits if this were attempted on senior citizens? Age discrimination would be instantly pulled out.
And ironically...a guy who is 20 years old can definitely handle their liquor better than some 70 year old drunk.
Being in bands for all the years I played clubs...we would go in to set up gear in the early afternoon. And there would always be a few OLD guys drinking in the bar during the day. And man they were WASTED. lol
