If a person wants to roll the dice with drinking before 21, we still penalize fake IDs 
Not back in the day when my parents were teens. It was easier to do this. Now, the only reason why, here in my state, it's hard to get an ID wasn't because of Underage drinking and kids getting fake ID's, it was the illegal immigrants getting ID's that made our legislatures come up with a way to make it harder for them to get an ID, well a Real ID anyways. They also, made the penalties for serving/distributing to an underage person, or if caught making fake IDs, much harsher.
I could even argue, the state has purposes and reasons for doing things. If they really cared about our health and really were concerned, and were adamant about it, they'd do exactly what they're doing with Covid-19 for these other health related ways that people can harm my health. Going to the extremes and lengths to make sure people are healthy. People won't like it, and in a communist country, the people have no choice, as the state knows what's best for it's people and the state makes decision for it's people, the people have no choice or say in the matter at all, that's how China's Society is ran...
We in The United States of America, have a constitution that guarantees it's citizens rights, listed in the Bill of Rights.
First and foremost we, as a country, all must abide by this constitution. Only, Indigenous Peoples of America had to be forced to adopt this policy. Which in fact the constitution was based on an Indigenous constitution.
Stadler makes a great point. Okay, why are you worried about what I do? Are you not being a bit too nosey, up in my business? What are you doing to better yourself, if you are so concerned and worried about me?
This is exactly what I mean by being Self-Dependant and Self-Reliant. Don't be worrying about what "The Other" does. First and foremost, you should be worrying and caring about yourself first. Because people give advice all the time, it's up to that person receiving the advice whether they'll take it to heart and actually act upon it. Most don't even take the advice of their doctor, and in fact it's their own consequences for their choices, If they ignored the doctors advice telling them to stop smoking, eating greasy foods, sugary drinks, and to exercise more and eat a better diet. Does that person do it?No. Then they'll end up blaming "The Other" because they are now susceptible to a disease Pandemic. It's a persons Self-Responsibility to listen to their doctors advice, so they won't end up being susceptible. It's not my fault, or societies fault, I am not in control of ones health or body. Being Self-Dependant and being Self-Responsible, means holding accountability for yourself and your decision, and the consequences involved in those decisions. You should be making these choices and decisions with careful thought.
Which leads to this question. Did people really get the vaccine for their health? Or because they just wanted to get back to the comforts of life and their daily routines?
Actions speak louder than words. And you know what, I question peoples actions all the time. Because they speak about things, but then end up not acting upon it. Like how some preach words, but don't end up living what they preach, example Catholism/Christians, imagine if they lived like their Savior Jesus told them too.
Like Stads said, there are no guarantees in life. You don't know if you'll even wake up the next day. You could very likely asphyxiate on your saliva while sleeping and no would know until it's too late. Humans are not guaranteed life. No being is guaranteed life.
And it's your life to live, just live your life without any worries about what "The Other" does. Stop making unnecessary stress on yourself, which can lead to worry, and you overwhelm yourself with it, and you become more susceptible to sickness and diseases.
