What good could possibly come from suddenly altering American culture and allowing stupid 18 years to legally buy and drink as much as they want. We have enough teen-alcohol related problems already. If 18 years could always drink than maybe the culture would have kept most of them responsible. We can't trust our teens to drive without texting and you want to let them drive to and from liquor stores? We can't even trust adults in this country to drink responsibly.
Honestly the world would be a much better place if we all just stopped using drugs. Yes alcohol and cigarettes are drugs too. As someone who doesn't drink or smoke and who lives a very happy life I just don't understand why the world is so obsessed with altering their state of mind with chemicals.
I'm not calling for a law and I'm not a fan of New York's nanny state laws either, but I really do think the world would be better without booze. It would certainly smell better without cigarettes. That is for sure.
