In 2003, almost 74% of adults aged 21 or older reported they had started using alcohol before age 21. How can you expect a law to resonate with the public when the president's own daughter refuses to abide by it? Jenna Bush, the nineteen year old daughter of President George W Bush, is judged to be responsible to vote, drive, marry, serve in the military, have an abortion, incur debt, and be executed (in Texas); then why is she not able to purchase a margarita?
