Yes, it's illegal. Many laws are idiotic, but that one is more so than most. I don't think any other nation in the world, where drinking is legal at all, has a 21-year old drinking age. Our kids can go into combat and get their guts shot out for the greater glory of their country when they're 18, but they can't have a beer? And this is The Law, so it must be immutable because Our Leaders never make mistakes? Lord, if you're there, give me the strength not to be excessively sarcastic...

And the girl didn't run for office. And she didn't have any say in whether her old man did. Neither did the rest of us, dammit.
