| Message | "From tobacco to alcohol, the LPS are determined to allow minors to have full legal access to dangerous substances. Current laws do not outlaw communion, this is a myth." Qualexander Vadir, Unionist Legislative Lead |

| Message | Agreed, it could give minors access to alcohol BUT it could just as well lead to some local governments banning alcohol entirely. This is the beauty of leaving it up to local communities, more people get what they want. Some areas wish to see alcohol available to people 16 and older, some 18 and older, some 21 and older, and some don't want alcohol legal at all. Let's allow people to live in an area that agrees with their viewpoint on this issue. |

| Message | "And some will grant it at 12, and some at 8, 7, 6...this is wantonly dangerous." Qualexander Vadir, Unionist Legislative Lead |

| Message | Doesn't seem likely but I guess it is theoretically possible. Though I doubt there are any local communities that would put it below 12. But I guess anything is theoretically possible. Though the backlash that such cities would receive would probably be more than enough to get them to change such laws. |

| Random fact: In order for a Cabinet bill to pass, more than half of the legislature must vote for it and all of the parties included in the proposed Cabinet must support it. If your nation has a Head of State who is also the Head of Government, then the party controlling this character must also vote for the bill, since the Head of Government is also a member of the Cabinet. If any of these requirements are not met, the bill will not pass. |
