Guest must not remember that they did lower the drinking age to the go out and die for you country age (18, which was actually lower that the draft age, which was 18 and 6 months) and they got tired of kids going out, getting drunk, and killing themselves and others--and raised the drinking age up again--Anyway, these days, no one gets drafted into the Army, and they don't really even want the average drunken 18 year-old--they prefer older, better educated types--they don't want anyone who isn't as smart as the smart bombs
