[QUOTE="Nugan, post: 2564624, member: 36335"] I'm notoriously bad with names (just ask Wraith or Mel about my "naming method"), so I'm not going to even try to name the vending bot. (I'm just happy my vending bot idea was accepted. :)) As for the drinking age, I think it would be exactly the same as it is in New York now: 21. I don't see it going up for a few reasons: First, there's not really a legal barrier after 21 that it could be changed to. I can't think of any laws reffering to a particular age after "21". Atleast not until you reach retirement age, and I don't see there ever being a drinking age of 65. Second, 21 year old are considered by themselves and society as full-fledged adults. By this point in life, many people have ceased being at all depents upon their parents and full-capable of taking care of themselves. It is possible that it could go down, but I don't see that as likely either. For one thing, people between 18 and 21 (who would be the most likely to support this) are, as a whole, terribly politically inactive. They show up in low rates when it comes to voting and probably would not organize a strong drive to get the age lowered. Add this to the fact that the groups that would oppose this would be much more politically frevent, and I just do see this happening. There is a third option. Lets say, for a momment, that the growing conservatism in America following -you know- continues throughout the 20 year period between now and TMP's time frame. It could be possible that we would be in a second Prohibition. Actually, this is even less probable than the other two, but it would make for some interesting reactions. However, as I said earlier: If you're going for realism, I would keep the drinking age the same. Just my opinion. :) [/QUOTE]
