Drinking Age!!

I think the drinking age should be lowered to eighteen years of age. After all it seems kind of off the meter that we are able to legally vote for our president which is stated to be an very important election. Also we are able to buy cigarettes and play the freaking lottery, Cigarettes in my opinion are just as bad as alcohol and someone will always abuse it but yet it's fine for us to develop cancer but not destroy our liver. Seems odd to me. In my opinion I don't care if you are eighteen or twenty one, someone can always be immature and not responsible with the decision either way but then again we can go to war when we turn eighteen. If you ask me after you've seen the things they see overseas how in the world can you come home and not need to relax. They say because we aren't mature enough to handle the responsiblity of drinking. Then I lthought how are we mature enough to go fight for our country then? How can you send immature individuals over to other places to fight for our safety? You can't. The laws are backwards. They allow one thing and don't allow another. War and alcohol can go hand in hand. They both are dangerous and they both can be abused. You can fight for the hell of it and drink for the hell of it. So being eighteen going to war, buying cigarettes, and drinking should be just as accepted as over the counter Plan B pills and clinics giving away abortions to without the consent of an adult because the girl is legally eighteen. Maybe they should weight these things on a scale and she just how not balanced their laws are!
