I don't think it's right that they are old enough to get their heads blown off for their country but they can't have a beer in their own house?!?!?!?! WTF?

And, to be perfectly honest, I was drinking socially at 16, and smoking weed at the same time (socially, only, never went to school high or drunk).
A 16 year old girl might be able to handle that okay. Many 16 year old boys would not. Girls are far, far more mature than boys at that age.
(And I think that holds true up until about age 40 or so...LOL)

But I agree with you that it's retarded for a kid to be old enough to step on a landmine.. but supposedly too young to drink a beer -- esp. with parental supervision.
