I'll hopefully be there though I suspect my 11 hour flight might make me a little jet lagged :)

I'll tell you what - since I can't make it to the West Coast, you call up my local bar, set up an open tab with them, and I'll drink to you all night. Deal?

@GauntFaceKiller: I agree. Preferably in a bar with wifi so we can web-conference the fake, American, 'has Crecente' party with the true, honest 'lacking in any actual Kotaku writers' gig.

Drinking age should be lowered to 18, so people stop thinking they need to drink to be cool at younger ages.

@HueyFreeman: That hasn't worked in the UK, though I agree that 18 is a perfectly decent drinking age, while 21 is just a bit extreme.

@Pombar: In Germany, the drinking age is 16, and you don't hear about their alcohol problems like the US.

The 21 age law forces people under 21 to binge drink, because they never know when they can get their next amount of beer.

Also, people older than the drinking age tend to stop drinking so much like the they would just a few years younger.

@HueyFreeman: That's more about German culture, though. But yeah, I've stopped binge drinking and have more or less gone to the Pub only socially and responsibly in the last year or so.

I'm becoming a boring old fart!

Does it go anything like this at these social parties?

"Hey nice talking to you guy, who are you on the site anyway?"

"Oh I'm that D Mitsuki guy, you should follow me haha."

"FOLLOW YOU, YOUR THE DOUCHEBAG THAT DOESN'T HEIL THE PS3/360/WII AND HAVE ALSO SAID SOME PRETTY FUCKED UP STUFF IN YOUR POST."

"Yep, and your a dumbass :D"

Just wondering.

@D Mitsuki : Gotta have guts kid!: Well, given that it's over 21, I imagine it filters out (Most of) the idiots.

There are always a few duds though...

Why can't the law reverse itself back to 18 and over again? It worked during Vietnam because of the draft. Why did they have to go ahead and reverse it when the rest of the world has 18+ and not 21+?

I'm a registered voter dammit! Gimme my rights already!

@n00b_pwner:
Being a registered voter doesn't mean you're entitled to rights, it just means that you're entitled to assist in choosing who denies you the rights you should have.

Then again, I'm a 21 year old Australian, I don't care what the drinking age is over there.

@TrjnRabbit: Registering to vote in this country is like how some societies have a ritual to have a passage a boy to going into manhood.

Well, this is the case here. If I am smart enough to choose who I want in office, I should be smart enough to know I am old enough to damage my liver with alcoholic beverages.

@TrjnRabbit: I'd say that there probably is a little wisdom to them. Many people are willing to "embrace their adulthood" by going overboard on their new found freedom. I'm sure it is meant to help someone gain more maturity before partaking in something that could be deadly in the hands of the immature (i.e. drunk driving).
