Point is us Americans actually need to make laws with facts to back them up, because we don't have a country the size and population of a bottom 10th percentile US state with the infrastructure of a 3rd world country.

The only other North American country with lax drinking laws is Mexico, and I doubt that's doing them any favors.

The UK is smaller than 11 individual US states.

The ENTIRETY of Europe is only ~100,000 square miles larger than the US.


To call US states small is moronic, a few of the eastern states are small, but that's about it.

In one nearby town, the high school kids loved my younger brother because he'd buy beer for them.

So one day he's in town and a number of them give him money to buy them some beer.

He walked into the store and bought however much beer that was, came out, and started passing out the beer.

The old woman in the store came out and starting griping at him, "Did you buy beer for them minors? Don't you know that it's illegal to buy beer for minors?"

He responded with, "Hell, lady. I'm a minor, too, and you sold it to me."

She shut up and went back inside.

Something like 50% of young adults live at home currently, it's not by choice, it's because we got thrust into a shit economy unprepared and wages have stagnated heavily over the past 30 years.

If you're lucky enough to be able to afford to liv by yourself, enjoy it and count your blessings because if you're between 20 and 30, statistically most of your peers are living at home.

A friend in college used to describe it like this: he and his friends in high school would go into a local mom and pop bodega and grab up a ton of beer. They'd put it on the counter and get out cash.

The craziest part is that people will insist that we're totes not religious, much less ruled by religion, when blue laws in Texas dictate what I can or cannot do on a certain day of the week. I also can't just buy liquor at grocery stores like I do when I visit family. It was easier for me to get weed, LSD and coke before I was 21 than it was to get alcohol. Thankfully a few months before I turned 21 my county was no longer dry. Previously I had to drive 21+ friends to the liquor store on the county border which had crazy high prices. ~45 minutes each way because Texas is huge.
