When you consider that the minimum age to join the marines is 17 and all that that entails, it is funny to think that the same person would not be considered mature or responsible enough to buy a drink for another four years.

Which brings us back to the same old argument, how stupid it is to continue with this senseless age limit of 21 years for purchasing and drinking alcohol? Everyone is using fake IDs! I guess it is keeping the economy booming in China!

Pretty stupid. With a little foresight they'd have stopped by their local Nigerian passport vendor before they left Ireland and picked up a couple. I heard the Nigerians were offering a 2 for 1--one Irish, one UK passport for the price of one. Date of birth to be chosen upon purchase.

Good God, how naive. You can order online from China totally accurate replicas of any US state driving license, with your picture, with any DOB you want. That's what US students are doing.
