Ah, that's what the US has. You can drive at 15 ... And you can marry here at 18. It's just not common.

In my case home is the opposite actually, since nobody drinks except my mother very very rarely; with my father and I being both abstemious we have high end alcohol of every kind in the cellar but only ever pulled out in very rare occasions. On the other hand alcohol comes in every anniversary, or birthday or Christmas, resulting in a growing supply which will most likely age and then rot without ever being consumed.
Sounds nice. The first thing I'm doing when I can go out and buy liquor for myself and drink with friends legally is making Skittles Vodka.
