      I mean, most countries drink 3-5 (some 7) years before Americans. By 21, people have kind of gotten over it and having beers for weekend chats and hangs is just normal. Drinking with intent or excitement to drink doesn’t exist without underlying mental issues.

      This advertising wouldn’t exist because it would be aimed at actual kids and teens. Whereas in the US you join the military, kill people for them, then after a few years of that, you’ve earned a beer with some alcohol in it.

        I have more than once witnessed 18-20 year old service members drinking openly and legally in bars and restaurants by using their military ID.
