@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg because maturity varies by individual there will always be some who could handle much more personal responsibility but are not allowed the freedom to do that because many of their peers are behind them.
1)
@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg when considering at what age to set a legal limit for things, we should consider the danger involved.
Joining the army is WAY bigger and more dangerous than drinking beer. So the beer age should be lower than the enlistment age.

@brazen_unicorn @IckyVickyEww @GibranStormcrow @MatthewSpeak @Not_Meis @zachsilberberg and basically, yes. I think that 16 year olds should be allowed to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and weed, and vote.
The fact that so many otherwise very sensible nations have set those ages at 18 however, makes me willing to consider arguments that 18 is better than 16.
