America's drinking laws contradict everything that America is supposed to be about. America is one of only a few countries with a drinking age as high as 21. Only a handful of other countries have... More > such a high age limit. The drinking age has become a ritual, with twenty-first birthday parties being seen as a rite of passage, an event that marks a person's transition to adulthood. Underage drinking has been a target for draconian government intrusions. SWAT teams raid college campuses, police bust teenage parties, and even people in their 70s can be asked to show their IDs when buying alcohol from some shops and bars. There has never been any intelligent debate about alcohol. There has only been confusion and emotive responses. Once a substance is legal and sold in many shops, it is both futile and highly problematic to attempt to seem tough by saddling the public with licensing laws, age restrictions, and regulations on opening hours and the price of alcohol.< Less

Children's consumption of sweets, their watching of television and their use of computers, are assumed to be the responsibility of parents. Shouldn't the same apply to alcohol? It used to go without saying that these matters were none of the government's business.< Less
