Isn't America the place where in some states it is a criminal offence for 21 year olds who serve in the military to consume alcohol?

- booleandilemma 9y ago18 for military, 21 for alcohol. It's ridiculous, yes. https://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/7/26/1398179/-18-year-olds-to-fight-and-die-for-your-country-but-you-have-to-be-21-to-have-a-beer https://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/7/26/1398179/-18-year-ol...
- arethuza 9y agoFor what it is worth the British Army takes recruits from 16 and the legal age where you can buy alcohol in the UK is 18 - so its not that weird.
- vfclists 9y agoWhy the downvotes, I meant 18 not 21? And technically a person is in their 21st year of life in the year leading up to their 21st birthday.
