    Legally drinking at the age of 21 instead of at 18 makes no sense. First off, they say its because your brain and body are fully developed by then but if that's true, then why are 18 year olds allowed to smoke? Making the choice to smoke is just as bad, if not worse than drinking. They are both decisions people have to make. Secondly, smoking is addicting and drinking usually isn't unless your an alcoholic which in that case its a mental addiction because you don't want to deal with reality.They are both really bad for you, causing cancer and such, but in this day what doesn't cause cancer i mean lets be real here. It simply doesn't add up.Third, just as your allowed to serve your country at 17 and vote at 18, gambling and drinking you must be 21. If your old enough to decide who's president you should be old enough to gamble and drink.
