If you're 18 and on active duty in the armed services you are allowed to buy alcohol.

I dont know the original reason for the age of 21, but I imagine that for the most part there is a nice maturity jump from 18-21 (there are always going to be idiots that will be the exception).

I really could care less either way, alcohol is easy enough to get underage that I dont mind waiting until May to be able to legally buy.
