Japan aims to lower age of adulthood to 18 by 2022

Yay! But they're still keeping the legal age for drinking, smoking and gambling unchanged at 20 due to concern about health and addiction risks.

In the uk I've never understood how age of consent is 16 and you can marry (with parents approval) then too ... but you need to be 18 to vote, drink, watch porn etc.

@TheRealWensama it is 14 in many European countries Germany, Italy, Poland etc

So you can create life, bring a child into the world surely the biggest thing you'll ever do but can't vote on what government you have? I just find the logic of that all screwy for me.
