Re: WTF happened to personal responsibility?
No, I understood that your reply was to the other poster. I'm not presenting an argument against it being 21 either, all I'm saying is that it seems silly to me to have it at 21. I'm not backing that up with facts or evidence, it's just an opinion.

Re: WTF happened to personal responsibility?
The short answer is.
"21 year olds will buy 18 year olds beer, and that's probably ok". "18 year olds will buy 15 year olds beer, and that might not be". I can almost understand that.

Re: WTF happened to personal responsibility?
A frat is an organization, and it is expected that the organization shall not provide under-aged kids (who are not responsible enough to keep under their limit), with alchohol.
This doesn't surprise me at all. Sure it sucks, but such is life.

Re: WTF happened to personal responsibility?
If it isn't, it's at least logic that I can slightly support. I have a feeling that this reasoning was used to some extent, but that's a total guess.
For instance, 18 year olds can drink on post/base, which removes them from the context of underage kids.

The drinking age is almost surely predicated on issues of responsibility and safety. [ QUOTE ] For instance, 18 year olds can drink on post/base, which removes them from the context of underage kids. [/ QUOTE ] If by "18 year olds" you mean "18 year olds in the service", I think the expectation is that they are more mature and responsible than the average 18 year old because they've been through formal disciplining etc.
