I had to say No. It should not go directly back to age 18. I think if you are 17, 18, 19, or 20 with a parent or spouse they should be allowed to buy a drink and give it to you with the understanding they are taking resposibility for you until the alcohol is out of your system. Military men and women should be allowed to drink on base during non-duty hours at the age of 18 as long as their residence is on base.
