I'm 21! & drinking laws are ridiculous
Since i am 21 years of age as of 22 minutes ago I will use this time to point out how horrible drinking laws are in the state of Virginia and the country. It is sad to see a state so rich in the history of freedom and liberty to have morphed into this. The title link will take you to all the permission or extortion costs that one much incur to deal in alcohol or even to host and event with alcohol . You can also take note that to buy certain alcohol in Virginia you must go to ABC stores which all close at 9pm. I will not be buying alcohol at those stores as it goes to a state run monopoly which I am opposed of in a nation built by free-market capitalism. People have a choice in this area as something like water or electricity would be much harder to avoid. They can decide not to support the state and these things will go away. This obsession with prohibiting drugs and the drug war is anti-freedom. I save the rant about the drug war and federal drinking age as those are topics themselves. A big push has been happening recently to lower the drinking age to 18 which is a small step in the right direction http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20249460/. The ideal situation would be no federal minimum drinking age. I also don't want to hear the BS technicality that it isn't banned (most states) in a private setting when parties are routinely shutdown for underage drinking. If your parent says its ok to drink in a private setting you should be able to go into 7 eleven and purchase for your mom or dad.
