Well, in that brief golden age of the mid 1970s when all was right with the world :lol: we could drink, vote, and serve in the military (but not be drafted!) at age 18.

Oh yeah, graduated driver's licenses hadn't been invented, you got the full thing at 16.

Just for comparison - here in the UK you can join the Armed Forces at 16, get married with parental consent at the same age, get a driver's license at 17, and drink, vote or get married at 18.

:D :D :D

Darn, you poor souls. You can join the army, drink alchohol and get married at 16 and you can get a driver's license and pot and various legal hallucinatics from age 18. On the downside you get crap weather as soon as you're born and you must be over 21 to legally kill your mother-in-law. :P

Anyway, way too late but happy birthday all the same Kevin. Just remember you're as old as you feel you are and laws are merely suggestions. ;)
