Ah Demian, but Jaguar is from Australia...one of those more normal countries where you can drink earlier.
Which brings me to this: Why do we use the arbitrary number of 21 here in the States? After all, you're considered an adult at 18 here, and can vote at 18, and buy cigarettes at 18...so why 21 for beer?
To my recollection, two of the last havens of under-21 drinking are gone--New Orleans (which was 18) and the state of Wyoming (the last state to go to 21...from 19).
