Heh yeah Tony, I remember how whenever I got close to the legal drinking age, NC would up it tantalizingly out of my reach. I was relatively young at the time of my wedding (21) and missed by less than a month the embarassment of not being able to drink champagne at my own wedding. (Leaving aside the fact that I'd prefer to have a beer, or a martini, or some good Scotch, rather than any kind of wine.)
You know, alcohol abuse is a really serious problem on many college campuses. I'm waiting for somebody to stand up and point out that it has become the big problem it is now largely SINCE the drinking age was raised to 21, and to ask if it's possible that there's a connection there somewhere. I'm waiting, but I'm not holding my breath!
