Utterly Mad

Also aren't you in 'merica where you can't drink until your 21 not 18 like most of the civilized world? Shouldn't be like buying guns and shooting them on your 18th in 'murica instead?

I think the real question is "why does your government trust you to vote for their next leader, bearing in mind that you're the most powerful nation in the world, but doesn't trust you to drink?"
