Well technically it is a state law, but it states don't raise it to 21 then they lose all federal funding for roads, so its kinda hard to say its not federal law,
that like saying you have the right to choose a or b, but if you choose b i'm going to brake your leg but you have the right to choose what you want to

Here in Oz we have always thought all of the USA was 21 to be able to consume alcohol! Thats why my son waited till he was 21 to visit the USA
If 18 is old enough to go to war.. kill and maybe be killed.. then damnit you should be able to drink a beer,
And I don't mean just on base.
In almost every state, you can be tried as an adult. many times they decide you are to stand trial as an adult even younger.. but you have to be 21 to drink?? WTF....

You are an adult but your arent adult
I agree, also a parent is responsible for a child till he is 21 ,however a preant has no control over a child after they turn 18 ,if you try to control them you are told they are an adult ,but you are still resonsible for them till 21

Lower the age to 18....

The 21 policy in most states in the US is outdated....
I agree ,the drinking age for me when I was 18 was 18 then as I turned 20 they raised it to 19 then after I turned 22 they changed it to 21 so I skated by really well

all of my kids are 18 and over, Does the legal drinking age being 21 stop the 18 and younger from drinking.... NO!so at least make it legal to let them drink where they can be observed.. not where they have to hide!

We need to bring back the firing squad for people like this
Pot laws in this country are also very strict also, a person can go to jail for small amounts of pot but a child molester will get 6 months probation or some other sentance like this.
