Mercedes all the way!
haha, they must still think they're in germany! i'm quite amazed the legal drinking age in the US is 21 - and that it is so strictly enforced. no one bats an eyelid if a 17 year old in the UK goes around drunk.

Great tag line---"Two wild and craaazy zetsche's"!

I also agree that it is a ridiculous law to allow people to fight in a war at 18 and not drink until they're 21. In my opinion it also leads to a more young binge drinking, which you don't find in europe as much with more lenient drinking laws. After reading the article, however, it's easy to see why she was arrested. Losing control over a band of young hooligans at your house is inexcusable--they apparently we're throwing things at passing cars.

Drinking at 18 should be legal, if I can die in war, I can drink damn it!
