Meanwhile, we also recently changed the voting age down from 21 to 18.
Interesting that those things are going in opposite directions.
Underage drinking and underage smoking have always been widespread - but do we ever hear about underage voting? So we are tightening a law that is frequently disobeyed and loosening a law that is not. Seems kind of backwards. Seems like the people writing these laws are dealing with the way they wish the world was, rather than the way the world is.

You've just defined "government."
