I realize that's the case. Now. But my point is that number 18 is totally arbitrary. It is and has been moved up and down throughout history. That's why I referenced Greek law.
My wife and I weren't legal adults for drinking or voting until we were 21, even though married when I was 17 and she was all of 16. The next year, I was serving in the army, and we were living on our own in Germany.
I've seen the age for drinking go up and down, changing like a Central American flag.
That doesn't make for logical argument, especially since we all freely admit maturity is relative.
Anyway, I see by your photo you're not anywhere
close to being old enough to drink or vote, heh heh.
