20 years old, and I don't drink. Tried it, hated it. I don't plan on drinking just because it's "legal" when I'm 21 either. I don't see how you people stomach such vile and bitter concoctions. you should drink the "fruity/girly" drinks smirnoff and mikes taste like fuckn' candy. dont know how people could drink other stuff
Sure, if you've got a massive vagina go for it.

Well it's 18 here in the UK so I just don't see why the US can't be the same.

Well a lot of the teens in the US are irresponsible and can be idiots, but I don't know how the teens in the UK are

Pretty much the same.
They're no better, to be honest.

FRUITY DRINKS RULE.
And if you don't want to seem "girly", go with fruit-flavored sake!
It's the best. I had pear sake, warmed, this month with some friends at a restaurant, and it was wonderful.
Sake's one of the only drinks I go for!

Just because its at 21 that doesn't mean most teenagers are going to wait until 21. At the age of 21 that is when you are legally considered a adult.18 you are legally considered an adult. What defines a legal adult is ability to legally work, participate in contracts, vote, marry, give sexual consent, and join the military.

That doesn't change the fact that legal adult age is eighteen.
There are a lot of things that legal adults are not allowed to do. You also can't rent a car until you are twenty-five in many major cities in the United States, and they'll charge you a higher fee if you are a male driver as opposed to a female driver.

Just cause you say you're 18+ or even 21+ doesn't mean you look it. If a minor were to get into a night club, that place could lose it's business and even it's liquor license.
