The voting age was lowered to 18 during the early 70s when there was still a draft in place. At that time, many states lowed the drinking age based on the old enough to serve, old enough to drink argument. Over time it became evident that older teens are not/were not responsible drinkers. DUIs and alcohol related accidents and deaths for this age group increased a rate far exceeding the general population. As it became evident that the lower drinking age caused more problems than it solved states began returning the legal age to 21. There is no longer a draft and military service is totally a choice as a job. Simply being in the military does not endanger others as drunken driving does. By that argument 21 is still an arbitrary number because all the studies show that the brain actually functions differently in the young causing poor impulse control and this does not change until 25 or so. 21 is just as ridiculous a number as 18. Some people will never be old enough to drink no matter what their age. I know there has to be an official legal drinking age, but some people can handle drinking alcohol and others can't, regardless of how old they are. It's part of the culture. Just gotta deal with it.

Well, Ethan has decided to delete both his pics at Adam's house, no comments or mention. Guess he got wind of the Glambert interest.

Why can't people just leave things alone, it's suffocating, isn't it? I just saw some tweets to Shosh that made me cringe and one to Ethan from a "fan" asking him is he's Adam's new boy toy and if it made his mom proud.....geeez. Some "fan" behavior makes me want to scream. Regarding Ethan and drinking he wrote and now has deleted: Ethan Echeverria @ethanecheverria Adam wanted color; and more drinks! Party this Saturday #AdamsLambert #party
