And I can't figure out why I couldn't legally drink when I was 18. I have hardly changed physically, or maturity wise, I was an adult in all aspects of the world at 18...except I couldn't drink.

Someone enlighten me as to why I had to wait an extra 3 years...at least it's nice to be able to drink alcohol now :)

Probably because the higher intellectual developement of your brain between 18 and 21 is so profoundly affected by drinking that you really don't want to do it.

Also the likely hood that you do not have the impulse control to not attack others and not fight back when "helping professionals" try to subdue you on alcohol.

Haha thanks. Nah I drank a lot when I was 16/17, but I guess I grew up so to speak and stopped partying from 18-now 21. Thanks for the responses :)

Hmm I never knew that. That brings to mind another related question, why are all other drinking ages around the world dramatically lower than ours? On that note, why is pot illegal here, when it is profoundly less deadly or severe or addictive or anything when compared to alcohol/cigarettes.

Any input?

Congrats on turning 21. It's just how the law works.
