I'd guess that any venue where 18 year-olds can gamble, they can also drink.

Don't know, but they already have dealt with this when Schlein finished second at the UB event.

in the cardplayer updates during the aruba event it said that the wpt people wouldn't let sdouble have a beer.

what is the legal drinking age in aruba? i thought it was 18. if the producers or the good people at budweiser or whoever are uncomfortable or don't think it's right to let someone who's under 21 be advertised drinking beer in america, then people who are under 21 shouldn't be let into certain wpt events anyway.

This wouldn't be a problem so much except for the fact that drunk drivers die and kill people. Seeing as only those 21 and up can purchase alchohol, I could only imagine how many more deaths would occur on US highways if 18 year old, 19 year old and 20 year olds were allowed to purchase and consume alchohol.

People (16-20 year olds, and over) talking on their cell phones while driving are getting bad enough.

Imagine how many fewer deaths there would be if we raised the drinking age to 30. Or 40. Hell, let's make it 60, since anyone that old already drives like crap.

Nope. For example, 18 year-olds can gamble at Turning Stone in New York, but they can't drink.
