The Legal Age for Drinking

The law for deciding the legal drinking age is the power of state government and hence varies for each state. E.g. in Gujarat consuming alcohol is totally banned whereas in Maharashtra the age limit after which a person can buy alcohol is 25 years. The funny part is the right to vote comes as a person turns 18 but age bars for alcohol consummation keeps on increasing. Its silly because if a person is considered old enough to decide who the next prime minister is he is sure to have knowledge about whether he should consume alcohol or not. Today as compared to other countries the legal age for drinking is the one of highest in India.
