You said "If you're going to lie, lie about something big." I'll add "if you're going to lie, lie about something people can't check in 30 seconds on Google." When you lie about basic facts that anyone can easily check, you just look like a pathological liar and people realize they should pay no attention to anything you say. You don't even bother to be at all careful about what you lie about. Anyone can spend 30 seconds checking it and they know for certain that you are completely full of shit.

Kavanaugh said during a Monday interview that the minimum legal drinking age was 18 back then. But in 1982, when Kavanaugh was 17, Maryland — where he grew up and attended high school — changed the minimum legal drinking age to 21 from 18. Therefore, any drinking that Kavanaugh did in the state of Maryland during high school was illegal.
