Why is the drinking age 21 in murica? It makes no sense at all.

Because MADD. It was 18 until they made a big enough of a stink to the government.
Because nothing beneficial to society arises from getting drunk. Where as serving your country is as beneficial as you can get

That's a cool opinion, doesn't mean you get to make a law about it.

What doesn't make sense is a minor hanging about in a bar.

The brain doesn't finish mylenation until around that age. You're more susceptible to permanent brain damage from alcohol poisoning before that age.

Because by the age of 21 brain stops regeneration so it's imperfect for people to become alcoholics.. idiots are easier to control.

Also some studies have shown that critical thinking under high stress is also diminished before myelination is complete.

So why make them wait until 21, an age where they have better things to do than drink?
I had 6 years of liquor before 21.

The federal government won't give states road money if their drinking age is under 21. That's the real reason, a lot of states held out.

Highway funding is tied to drinking age
Libertarians were right the entire time.

Virginia, go figure.

Democrat wrote a bill that takes away a state's road money if you don't make the age 21. Democrat House passed it roundly, Republican Senate passed it after a fuck-it amendment, and Reagan didn't like throwing the veto at non-economic issues.
