Limiting alcohol sells to at least 21 is because of less experience in life to understand harm... this helps a nation
BUT this same reason must apply to voting.. and also shows how the young voting more liberal comes from less experience and unwise minds
one thing may could change the age issue to stop harm... a wisdom test for all people to vote or to buy alcohol or to be around harm
21 for alcohol is insane.
if 21 is insane for buying alcohol... then even more insane for 18 yr olds to vote

The voting age should be raised as well, to 25 or 30 years old.

There was a time when everyone had to be 21 to vote and 21 to buy beer and whiskey. But then the draft age was 18. it was under Nixon who fought to have both lowered to 18 so our boys in the military who were fighting for this country in Vietnam could drink and vote. The voting age was lowered to 18 in 1971 and in most of the states the drinking age was lowered also to 18. The idea was if you were young enough to serve and defend this country, you were young enough to drink and vote. Asking those 18,19 and 20 year olds to fight and die for their country and still deny them the right to vote and to have a drink seemed really absurd at the time.
Since then the draft has been done away with, most if not all states now has raised the drinking age to 21. But voting can still be done beginning with one's 18th birthday. The original reason with lowering both is long gone. Perhaps it is time to raise the voting age back to 21 to correspond with the drinking age.
Why not just lower it to 18, that is when you become an adult, you can make your own decisions, that should include the decision of who should be president and what you can drink. Why 21? They are going to drink way below that age anyways.

Why did states drop the age to 18 and then raise it again? Here's a chart of those states: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._history_of_alcohol_minimum_purchase_age_by_state
Blackmail apparently.
The only thing we should have to wait for 21 to do is gamble and go to strip/sex clubs.
what makes one an adult? is it body or mind?? or is it puberty?? we think adult means wisdom.. but is that true... is a 18 yr old more wise than a 40 yr old?? is a 4 yr old more wise than a 2 yr old?
Bingo.
Given how badly the boomers have ****ed over all generations that came after using political power I am not much interested in any acts that further deprive the younger of power. If our young people had a lick of sense they would all go to the polls and make their voices heard.
Sadly, they dont.

Why? What benefit did it have to the federal government?
The Federal government threatened the states that didn't comply with withholding federal assistance for a variety of things.
The Nanny State Liberals had the benefit of enforcing their benevolence upon us.
What does it have to do with Liberals?
Blackmail apparently.
