It’s good for you, therefore it must be constitutional.
Taken from College Drinking Prevention.
Issue: “Establishing a legal drinking age of 21 is unconstitutional age discrimination.”
Response: This question has been treated in detail in two court cases, one in Michigan, the other in Louisiana. In both instances, the courts upheld the constitutionality of the laws, based in part on the demonstrated value of age 21 laws in preventing traffic crashes.
So it doesn’t matter that it is unconstitutional just so long as the government thinks that it is protecting people? Basically that is what this entire web page boils down to; it’s OK to make these laws because it is for people’s safety and everything we say is backed by research that we are more than willing to refer to but refuse to show.
