Isn't it odd that we earn the law's permission to libate ourselves silly after we earn the right to vote for President or the risk of being tried as an adult and sent to jail for embezzling from "An Evening With Champions"? At 18, we're entrusted with legal control over and responsibility for our actions. Three years later, we're granted the legal right...
