    I don't think it is inherently illegal to drink or smoke at any age, but the minimum age for being able to buy alcohol in bars, or buy tobacco products is 18.

    Paragon and you should remind them that they do have the privilege of being able to die for their country at 18. That should keep them sober for another 3 years.

    yea and that's excatly the argument for why the U.S. should lower the drinking age or raise the drafting age.

    It's ironic that you can use firearms and die for your country when you can't drink...

    Ooops, and sorry for OT btw
