I think bullet makes a point about the 18 year old being able to buy for younger friends, since most 18 year olds are still in high school. I was married for 3 years, and had a two year old and still couldn't order a drink at a bar. Weenie couldn't buy beer at the grocery store when I was there because they would card both of us and I wasn't old enough. LOL. Since the goverment doesn't have resources to legalize alcohol on case by case, I think they should keep the drinking age at 21, at least 21 year old girls have a better of the understanding about the importance of birth control. I do believe that all active duty military should be able to drink legally, even if its only on thier base.
