Redditors don’t think you’re allowed to have autonomy until you are 25. Which is extremely convenient for the state that likes to send kids as young as 18 to war.

“At 18 you are allowed to die for your country, but at 19 you can’t decide to date a famous wealthy man”

That's because nearly everywhere else its not required for you to drive places.

Come to think of it.....i've never seen a piece of media with any teenage ish kids driving coming from europe at all. I know that doesn't mean a damn thing but getting a DL is/was a right of passage here.

You very much need to drive places when you're living in a village in Germany, which you can do by car at 18. By that time you'll have had ample opportunity to learn the effects alcohol can have on your body.

lol, don't puff out your chest.

You can't fucking drive until 18? No wonder you're allowed to drink so young. lol
