Teens in other countries aren't going out having wild parties (when they should be home with their parents) and seeing how much alcohol they can consume in one sitting and then trying to drive home.
I will give you this much: let's leave it to the parents to decide when their kids can drink instead of leaving it to the government.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
