Thank you for the clarification. I would agree with that sentiment. It is essentially saying that the drinking age should be lowered.
That may have seemed obvious to you but if you think about it there are multiple ways to interpret that statement.
It appeared to me that the author was saying "we don't even let these people drink alcohol why should they be allowed to vote?"
So would I be correct in presuming that you would be in support of lowering the drinking age to 18?
