Can we enlighten you? Nope. The US is one of the few countries who has an (on a universal level) absurd rule for drinking alcohol. Alcohol is part of all human cultures but the US just has very different rules about it. I'm in favor of 18 being the age of consumption or not even having a drinking age (because alcohol is human culture! and the correctly parented children will know not get wasted at age 10).
Believe me, at the tender age of 19 I am applicable to both conscription and drinking tickets.
