I think it's stupid to give a kid a driver's license at 16, too (which is when it's legal in Canada). However, our legal drinking ages range between 18 and 19 from province to province. I don't understand the concept of a legal drinking age of 21, yet being allowed to drive, vote, go to war, and own a gun before that age. Just stupid. Most people have had a drink before 21 anyways. I know I sure as hell had one before our legal age of 18. We get a lot of young Americans that just come up to Canada to drink, anyways......so what is the point of this law? I think it should just be changed already.
