The government & businesses have no problem exploiting youth for their purposes but when it comes to having fun they're too imature.
If you're not mature enough to handle liquor and smoking at age 18 then you're not mature enough to make decisions about contracts or risking your life in the military.
Trying to have it both ways sends mixed signals and encourages young people to break the law.
