| You can join the military at age 17, with your parent's permission.
The rationale behind the drinking age is that it greatly reduces the number of fatal car accidents involving alcohol.

You're responsible enough to vote for the leader of the country, but not responsible enough to know when you've had enough and/or not to drink and drive? Oh well....
