It's more like horse-piss priced so cheap that only 15 year-olds and/or Northeast Philly folk will drink it. I believe they add a shot of vodka to it and call it a "Skippy." Or maybe that's when you dip your cigarette in formaldehyde before smoking it. I get them confused.

The war/drink argument is hackneyed, but it's still acceptable because drinking at 21 is a flatly bizarre law. Placing the legal threshold to go to war/vote for President/have credit/go prison/buy and own pornography/etc lower than having a beer signifies some kind of confusion. Plus, I think you can make the argument that the 21 drinking age actually encourages irresponsible drinking, which, of course, is directly contrary to its intended goal.Sure, the kids are dumb, but so is prosecuting them.
