1. I'm not going to argue other countries laws (I've never been to Quebec). But in America at 18, you can fuck a 50 yr old and also vote.
2. The drinking age has changed alot over the years, and if you just look into the history books you will understand this one. Simply (here in America), at age 18 most kids are still in highschool. Which obviously fills the highschools with alcohol. There were also problems with DUIs at that age. Would you trust a 40 yr old driving on ten beers, or a 16-18 yr old driving on five beers.
Like I said, just check the history books and you will find out the MANY reasons the age for drinking was brought up to 21.
3. As stated above, there are reasons for the legal drinking age of 21. The reason porn is at 18. Is because the age of 18 makes someone a consenting adult. They may vote, live under their own (not their parents) rules, etc etc.
Basically, you can't really use the legal age of alcohol consumption as a comparision to anything else. It's based off it's own set of history and blunders. None of which any other age groups fall into.
