One should should think that your old enough to drink if you can do that.

Though it is just a minor footnote. During the Vietnam war the same case was argued and the drinking age was lowered in several States to 19, some like NY were 18. As the fear mongering about druck driving increased the Feds mandated a national increase to 21 or States would loose highway funding.
