Finally someone is standing up for the rights of minors in this Nation.
A South Carolina Congressman fathered a Bill to allow service men and women to drink before the age of 21.
The problem is states with a drinking age lower than 21 lose all highway funding.
And it would be only enlisted minors. If you aren’t enlisted, you could not buy a drink.
Some oppose the Democratic Bill. Nay-sayers claim lowering the drinking age makes local roads less safe.
The safety advocates also say studies show minors consuming alcohol is not safe for the military either.
