That’s not even what happens here though. Just because you can drink in Canada at 18 doesn’t mean I can go to the States, you’ve gotta be 21.

Not sure if Canadians and Americans are different species though.

Me neither, but we mustn't rule it out yet.

Of course, the values vary depending on which pub guild is controlling this particular pub.

Different species may have different ages of brain maturity at which point alcohol won't pose as much of a risk of stunting their mental development. Elves for example settle into adulthood at around 100 years of age.

So a responsible legislature would codify in its laws what the minimum drinking age is for each species based on science's best understanding of their physiology.

Dragons don’t really ever stop growing, although if there’s one in your bar you have much bigger problems.

They don't stop growing, but once they're 101 they're an adult.

Not really a good analogy, because the age at which you can drink is based on where you are, not in where you were born etc. An American 18 year old could go to Canada or well pretty much anywhere else in the world and they can get as drunk as they like.

Age is based on when you were born, not where you were born, unless if you were born orbiting black hole /j

Lol yeah I should have proof read that.

Fixed now.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

Well it read pretty much correctly, now it's clearer, thanks :)

[–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Hell, just different parts of Canada have different drinking ages

There's a reason why university students in Ontario like to go to Montreal to party, after all.
